Heavy Vehicles and Commercial Trucks Restricted

To ease the festive rush, heavy-duty vehicles, trailers, and commercial goods carriers will not be allowed to enter the city during this period. This decision aims to reduce congestion and allow safe and easy access for devotees heading to the ghats for rituals.

In addition, MG Road, between Machkhowa Point and Chief Justice’s Bungalow Point, will remain closed to general traffic. Only small commercial vehicles transporting puja materials or devotees will be allowed. Slow-moving vehicles like auto rickshaws, 3 wheelers and e rickshaws will also be restricted unless used for puja-related work.

Diversions for Buses, Trucks, and Pickups

Perhaps the most noticeable change will affect buses and transport vehicles. City buses coming from Khanapara towards Bharalumukh will need to avoid Panbazar ROB and instead take GS Road and AT Road.

Meanwhile, inter-district and ASTC rural buses from Jalukbari will be diverted through NH-27. Only four-wheelers carrying devotees will be allowed near the ghats, while six-wheelers and larger vehicles will be prohibited.

Traffic will move both ways on HB Road between Sani Mandir and Panbazar Police Point, helping maintain a steady flow during peak hours.

No Parking for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

To avoid traffic jams, no parking zones have been declared on major city roads such as AT Road (Bharalumukh to Panbazar Overbridge), MLN Road, ARB Road, SRCB Road, SS Road, HB Road, and TRP Road.

Trucks, trailers, and other heavy-duty vehicles will not be allowed to park on TRP Road, Lakhi Gali, Chamber Road, SRCB Road, Kedar Road, and MS Road during the restricted hours.

Parking Arrangements for Devotees

For convenience, parking for vehicles carrying devotees or puja materials will be permitted at Lakhi Goli, Chamber Road, MS Road, SRCB Road, and the market side of MG Road. Vehicles visiting Sonaram Higher Secondary School Ghat must be parked inside the field area.

The administration has also advised puja committees to set up proper parking zones away from ghats and to deploy volunteers for managing traffic and crowds.

Overall, these traffic regulations aim to ensure safe, disciplined, and smooth Chhath Puja celebrations while keeping heavy vehicles and trucks off key city routes during the festival.
