Traffic system in the State capital has been affected following protests by various organisations in support of their pending demands.
Traffic congestion was witnessed at many crossings across the city. Though the administration had deployed traffic police adequately in the State capital to resolve traffic congestion in view of the string of stirs, however, traffic snarls were witnessed at Tehsil Chowk, Clock Tower, Gandhi Park, Survey Chowk, Dilaram Chowk and areas nearer the Secretariat at noon, leading to public inconveniences on Monday. The main reasons for the traffic congestion at many places, especially at noon was due to the students coming out after school hours were over and the stirs continuing in the city.
Also, huge traffic congestion were witnessed outside the St Joseph Academy, near PHQ at noon, as the students came out on roads and the rallies followed towards the Secretariat with the participants shouting anti- Government slogans. Moreover, due to the festive season, Doon residents also came out to purchase things in the markets in the State capital.
Various organisations including Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.)/ Teachers Eligibility Test(TET) Unemployed Federation and Trained Yoga Unemployed Association, assembled at Parade Ground and took out rallies up to the Secretariat in support of their pending demands which threw traffic out of gear in the State capital.
