Nashik Chhath Puja: Ramkund Traffic Curbs Announced
14 Nov
Summary
- Traffic restrictions will be in place from Sunday afternoon to Monday morning.
- An estimated 50,000 to 60,000 devotees are expected at Ramkund.
- Alternative routes and designated parking are provided for attendees.
Nashik city police have implemented temporary traffic restrictions in the vicinity of Ramkund, Gangaghat, and Panchavati in preparation for the Chhath Puja celebrations. These measures are scheduled to be active from 3 PM on Sunday until 10 AM on Monday, impacting key routes connecting Malegaon Stand, Sardar Chowk, and Dilli Darwaja to Ramkund.
The anticipated gathering of 50,000 to 60,000 devotees for the evening rituals necessitates these traffic controls, especially on the narrow roads prevalent in Gangaghat, Panchavati, and the old city areas. Police have advised motorists to utilize the Ganeshwadi-Nimani Bus Stand-Panchavati Karanja route for inter-city travel during the restricted period.
To manage the influx of attendees, specific parking zones have been established at Gauri Patangan, Mari Mata Mandir, and Shinde Mala. Detailed routes for accessing these parking areas via the Malegaon Stand or Mumbai-Agra Highway have been provided. These traffic arrangements are crucial for ensuring the safety and smooth conduct of the Chhath Puja festivities.
