Several routes will remain diverted from Tuesday due to the Vidhan Sabha session in Dehradun. The police released the traffic plan on Monday to maintain law and order in the city during the session. As per the plan, the police will stop processions at specific barrier points, including at Pragati Vihar, Shastrinagar, Defence Colony and Vidhan Sabha trisection.
During the session, all heavy vehicles will be diverted from Kargi Chowk and Doiwala towards Dudhli Road. If there is increased traffic pressure in the Rispana bridge area, heavy vehicles will be temporarily stopped at Lal Tappad, Harrawala and Nayagaon. Vehicles travelling from Dehradun to Haridwar, Rishikesh, Tehri and Chamoli will be diverted from Nehru Colony and Fountain Chowk towards Chhe Number Puliya.
Traffic moving from Dharampur Chowk to ISBT will be directed through Mata Mandir Road, passing through the old bypass post towards ISBT. Besides this, vehicles heading towards Mussoorie from Mohkampur will be rerouted via Jogiwala, Ring Road, Ladpur and Sahastradhara Crossing, leading to the IT Park and Mussoorie Road. Vehicles coming towards Dehradun city from Mohkampur will be diverted through Vidhan Sabha trisection, Rispana bridge and the old bypass police chowki, reaching Dharampur and East Canal Road.
Permitted processions will only depart from Him Palace hotel and their vehicles will be parked at Guru Nanak Ground in Race Course. If a procession moves from Him Palace hotel towards the Pragati Vihar barrier, traffic coming into Dehradun from Rispana bridge will be diverted via Haridwar Bypass. In case of high traffic volume, city buses coming from Doiwala towards Dehradun will take a u-turn at Kailash Hospital and return towards Doiwala.
The Dehradun senior superintendent of police Ajai Singh said that additional diversions may be implemented as per the requirement and previously diverted traffic may be restored to normal if needed. He also appealed to the locals to use alternate routes to avoid inconvenience during the session.
