The traffic was thrown out of gear on Monday following protests staged by organisations like Uttarakhand Gram Prahari Union and Uttarakhand Jal Sansthan Karamchari Sangh on the fourth day of the Vidhan Sabha’s Budget Session. Samajwadi Party activists also rallied up to the Collectorate, protesting against State Government’s anti-people policies.
The district police had installed barricades around Vidhan Sabha areas and other parts of the city. Policemen were deployed at several crossings to resolve traffic congestions. However, vehicle remained stuck throughout the day. The traffic congestion was seen at various crossings including MKP (PG) College crossing, Clock Tower, Saharanpur Chowk, Survey Chowk, Dilaram Chowk, Ballupur CHowk, and Dharampur Chowk in the city.
