Pleasant weather conditions, intermittent rainfall, and cooler temperatures have drawn a large number of tourists to Himachal Pradesh during the long weekend, with Shimla also seeing a rush of visitors from different parts of the country.
Tourists praised the city's favourable weather, scenic beauty, religious attractions, rich culture, and comparatively smooth traffic movement, making their holiday experience enjoyable despite the heavy rush.
Shimla Police has implemented a comprehensive traffic management plan, including increased police and Home Guard personnel, civil volunteers, and student volunteers to assist traffic personnel at key locations across the city.
Special arrangements have been made at major parking facilities to streamline vehicle entry and exit and reduce congestion in busy parts of the city.
Authorities have also allowed travellers, Urbania vans, and other public transport vehicles to operate on Cart Road to reduce dependence on private vehicles.
Police said these measures have helped maintain normal and smooth traffic flow despite the heavy tourist influx.
