Traders request mayor to keep Paltan Bazaar open for two-wheelers

Thursday, 23 January 2020 | PNS | Dehradun

The Udyog Vyapar Mandal has requested Dehradun mayor Sunil Uniyal ‘Gama’ to not restrict the entry of two-wheelers in Paltan Bazaar.

Considering the congestion in Paltan Bazaar due to two-wheelers, MCD had decided to restrict two-wheelers in the area.

However, the members of Udyog Vyapar Mandal said that the traders and merchants of Paltan Bazaar do not agree with the idea.

According to president of Udyog Vyapar Mandal, Pankaj Kumar Masson, “There is not much congestion in the area. People do not stay for hours in the market to shop or buy things so the vehicle that enters the market also leaves shortly.

But if the entry of two-wheelers is banned, it will be difficult for people, especially the old and women with kids to walk all around the market.”

However, the customers in the market have different opinions. According to Pallavi Mishra, “It would be great if the entry of any kind of vehicle is banned here.

The place is always congested and vehicles just take the congestion to another level.

At times we do not get proper space even to walk which feels suffocating.

So I have no problems with walking some distance in the market.”

“It is already very difficult to walk, drive or do shopping in the congestion of Paltan Bazaar so I am sure most of the people would not mind walking in open space,” added Pankaj Rana.
