Traffic Restrictions Imposed on Koradi Road for Navratri Celebrations
Koradi, Nagpur: In preparation for the upcoming Navratri festival, the Nagpur Traffic Police, led by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Archit Chandak, has announced traffic restrictions on the busy Koradi Road near Mahadula T-Point in the Indora traffic zone. These measures will be in place from October 1 to October 31, 2024, to ensure smooth traffic flow and enhance public safety during the festive season.
People are advised to follow the traffic restriction and precautions for safe traffic management. This restriction are implemented to assure smooth travel, and to avoid the heavy crowd during navratri.
Koradi Road, part of National Highway 41 connecting Nagpur to Betul, sees heavy traffic, particularly around Mahadula T-Point. This area becomes congested due to a local market frequented by laborers and shoppers, as well as the nearby Shri Mahalaxmi Jagdamba Temple, which attracts thousands of devotees during Navratri.
Authorities have observed that illegal parking and large banners along the Mahadula Service Road obstruct drivers' views, increasing the risk of accidents. To address this, the traffic department has implemented the following measures:
-
No-Parking Zone: A 50-meter radius around Mahadula T-Point and the Koradi Road Service Road is now a no-parking zone. Violators will face penalties.
-
Banner Prohibition: Banners are prohibited within a 50-meter area around Mahadula T-Point and along Koradi Road Service Road unless authorized by relevant authorities.
These measures are crucial as the Shri Mahalaxmi Jagdamba Temple, a prominent religious site, draws high-profile visitors and devotees from across Maharashtra. Many of them travel via Mahadula T-Point, which is already crowded due to labor activity and commercial establishments.
The restrictions, issued under sections 115, 116, and 117 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, aim to prevent traffic disruptions, ensure public convenience, and reduce accidents during the peak of Navratri festivities. They will remain in effect throughout October, covering the height of the celebrations.
