The East Singhbhum district administration has made special plans in view of Muharram procession in the city.
Apart from barricading of roads passing through communally sensitive areas at Sakchi, Bhalubasa, Dhatkidih, Mango and Jugsalai the entry of heavy vehicles would be barred for whole day during Muharram procession.
“We are taking every step to ensure that the festive season is peaceful. We have chalked out a special traffic plan keeping in view the dates of immersion and Muharram festivity in consultation with senior superintendent of police East Singhbhum Anoop Birtharay and other senior police officials so that people are least inconvenienced,” said Ravi Shanker Shukla East Singhbhum deputy commissioner.
“The magistrates and police officials of 25 zones (in terms of police stations) and six super zones (cluster of police
stations) have been asked to pass on the directive of administration regarding traffic plans to Durga puja committees and Muharram akhara committees before hand to avoid confusion,” said an
official.
