The Gurugram police on Wednesday issued an advisory asking citizens to avoid routes going towards Government college for girls located on Mehrauli-Gurugram Road, Sector 14, on May 23.

As part of security arrangements on the counting day, the 2.5-kilometre stretch between MDI Chowk and Mahavir Chowk will be blocked for all kinds of traffic movement between 7 am to 11 pm on Thursday.

Traffic police officials said that all roads leading to the venue will be blocked. "The vote counting for the district is to be held in the Government College for Girls in Sector 14 on Thursday. On this occasion, a large number of staff and officials will be discharging their duties. So there will be a high-security alert on different routes leading to the venue.

Also, routes connecting to the Mehrauli-Gurugram road will be manned by securing personnel and the movement of the general public will remain suspended on these routes, starting 7 am till late in the evening," Himanshu Garg, DCP (traffic), said.

"Roads outside the college will be sanitised and will be under high security during the counting process. Seven police checkpoints will be put towards Mehrauli-Gurugram Road and an arterial route between the college and 32nd milestone. Also, around 700 police personnel will be deployed to ensure the security of the area," Garg said.

He added that traffic on these routes will resume as soon as counting is concluded.

The police officials further said that the counting staff, counting agents and candidates, who will come to the counting centre from the direction of MDI Chowk will have to park their vehicles at the ITI premises adjoining the girl's college.

On the other hand, those coming from the direction of Mahavir Chowk will have to park their vehicles at Vyapar Sadan. Parking at the Government College for Girls will not be allowed.
