The traffic system on Wednesday was practically thrown out of gear, as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Nanda Devi Nirdhan Viklang Kalyan Association (NDNVKA) staged demonstrations at the Secretariat premises on Wednesday. In view of the BJP rally, the district police had drafted plans to ensure smooth flow of traffic in the state capital. Despite this, road users were inconvenienced due to traffic congestion. To keep order, police had installed barricades at many places in the city.
The district police had deployed police forces at various crossings to smoothen traffic to spare the commuters inconveniences in the State capital. In spite of this, at several crossings, commuters faced inconvenience at noon. Traffic congestion was witnessed at important crossings like Survey Chowk, Dilaram Chowk, Darshanlal Chowk, Dharampur, MKP College crossing, Doon Hospital crossing, Tehsil, Rispana Bridge and other places in the city.
