Vehicles will now run according to the timetable on the Bajaura-Kandi-Kataula route
Vehicles are being evacuated from the alternate route following the closure of Mandi-Kullu NH. One-way traffic has been restored on the Bajaura-Kandi-Kataula road. Due to excessive pressure of vehicles on the road, there is a jam. In such a situation, now the police has issued a timetable regarding the traffic. Due to this, till the restoration of the main road, there will be movement of vehicles under this arrangement.
Vehicles will be sent from Bajaura towards Kandi-Kataula Mandi from 9:00 am to 11:00 am daily. Vehicles will be released from Kandi-Kataula towards Bajaura Kullu from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. After that again from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm vehicles will be taken out from Bajaura towards Kandi-Kataula and from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm from Kandi-Kataula towards Bajaura.
During this period, except for the vehicles supplying only diesel-petrol and LPG gas, other heavy vehicles will not be able to move. Action will also be taken for non-compliance as per rules. Additional Superintendent of Police Mandi Sagar Chandra said that people stranded towards Kullu are being evacuated via Kamand Kataula road. But due to the huge number of tourist vehicles, we have to face traffic jam for hours. Therefore, time table has been prepared for restoration of one-way traffic between Kandi-Kataula and Bajaura at a time.
