Haldwani will implement traffic restrictions on 23 October for the Ram Rajyabhishek procession, with several roads closed from one:00 in the afternoon until the event concludes. Police have issued diversions for buses, vehicles travelling towards the hills and traffic heading into the city.

The procession will affect traffic near Ok Hotel Tiraha, Nainital Bank Tiraha, Sindhi Chauraha, SDM Court and Taj Chauraha. Entry will be restricted as the procession passes through these areas, so motorists will need to follow the designated alternative routes.

Diversions for buses

Buses arriving from Rampur Road will be diverted at TP Nagar Tiraha. They will travel via Honda Showroom Tiraha, Teenpani Flyover, Gola Bypass, Nariman Tiraha, Kathgodam, Tikonia Chauraha and Workshop Line before reaching the roadways.

Buses coming from Bareilly Road will use Teenpani Flyover, Gola Bypass, Nariman Tiraha, Tikonia Chauraha and Workshop Line. Buses travelling on the Kaladhungi route will be diverted from Laldanth Tiraha through Panchakki Tiraha and Hydil.

Routes for hill-bound and city-bound vehicles

Vehicles travelling from Bareilly Road towards the hill areas will use Teenpani Flyover, Gaulapar Road, Nariman Tiraha and Kathgodam. Vehicles heading from Rampur Road towards the hills will be diverted at Ganna Centre Tiraha and sent via Teenpani Flyover, Gaulapar Road and Nariman Tiraha.

Traffic travelling from Kaladhungi Road will be diverted at Laldanth Tiraha. The alternative route will pass through Panchakki Chauraha, Hydil Tiraha and Nariman Tiraha.

Vehicles coming from the hill areas towards Bareilly and Rampur Road will travel through Nariman Tiraha, Kathgodam and Gaulapar Road.

When the procession is between Ok Hotel and SDM Court, and between Sindhi Chauraha and Ok Hotel, other vehicles travelling towards the city will be diverted from Gandhi Inter College Tiraha. They will use FTI, ITI, Cancer Hospital and Mukhani Chauraha.

Vehicles entering the city from Nainital Road will be diverted at Maharani Hotel Tiraha when the procession is between Ok Hotel and SDM Court Tiraha. They will proceed through Kulyalpura Chauraha and Pani Ki Tanki.

Roads with entry restrictions

Police have also specified roads where entry will be prohibited while the procession remains between SDM Court Tiraha, Bhardwaj Tiraha, Taj Chauraha and Sindhi Chauraha.

The restricted movements include:

  • Traffic from Tikonia Chauraha through Workshop Line towards Taj Chauraha.
  • Traffic from Gaulapar towards Taj Chauraha.
  • Traffic from Sindhi Chauraha through Meera Marg towards Taj Chauraha.
  • Traffic from Ok Hotel Tiraha towards Patel Chowk.

Traffic Inspector Bhupesh Pandey said the plan would remain in force from one:00 in the afternoon until the procession ends. The timing and restrictions will therefore depend on the procession’s movement through the affected areas.

Conclusion

The verified traffic plan places restrictions across central Haldwani on 23 October and provides separate diversions for buses, hill-bound vehicles and city traffic. Motorists should use the listed alternative routes until the Ram Rajyabhishek procession has concluded.
