This decision comes as construction work along this stretch has been suspended for the duration of the celebrations, providing much-needed relief to commuters travelling between Lokhra and Paltan Bazar.
For several months, the ongoing construction work had required vehicles to be diverted from Battalion Gate through Dhirenpara via Barsapara, resulting in severe traffic congestion and increased commuting time. With the temporary lifting of restrictions, traffic flow is expected to improve in the area.
