GURGAON: To ensure the safety of Kanwarias passing through Gurgaon, the district magistrate, P C Meena, has enforced Section 144. Meena said that a camp will be constructed for the Kanwarias, at a distance of at least 200 metres from the National Highway road, to make sure the flow of traffic is not disrupted.

 

Meena also said that the Kanwarias from Rajasthan, Haryana and neighbouring states will have to pass through the district. Hence, the Kanwarias will rest in the camps and will also be provided with food there. As per rules set by the government, such camps should be at a distance of at least 50 metres. Police and the organizers of the camps have been instructed to follow the camping restrictions.

 

Earlier, the city police had drawn a detailed plan to ensure smooth Kawad Yatra, especially on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway. The policemen have been making rounds all around the city to provide security to the Kanwarias. Police commissioner K K Sindhu said that during the Kawad Yatra, 400 home guards have been deployed along with policemen. Heavy vehicles will not be allowed on the service lanes of the expressway. A senior police officer said that the traffic police have also updated the road side arrangements. He also said that the traffic police have asked D S C Ltd to make a separate lane on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway, for the Kanwarias, who will be returning from Haridwar.

 

"We are making arrangements for the Kanwarias to reach their destination safely. Our PCR and riders team will also be on an alert 24X7, during the Kawad Yatra," said the Commissioner of police.
