Dharamshala, Nov 4 (UNI) The Kangra district administration has prohibited the entry of large passenger and tourist buses into Bir area of Baijnath subdivision between 8 am and 7.30 pm daily to streamline traffic and ensure the safety of tourists and local residents.
District Magistrate Hemraj Bairwa issued the order restricting the movement of Volvo, Scania, Mercedes-Benz and BharatBenz buses, luxury coaches, sleeper coaches, buses belonging to the 9400 and 9600 series, and other large passenger and tourist buses on the road stretch from Chaugan Chowk towards the Tibetan Market in Bir.
The order stated that Bir witnesses heavy movement of tourists, local residents, pedestrians and paragliding pilots. The movement of large buses on narrow and congested roads disrupts traffic, causes inconvenience and poses a potential threat to public safety.
However, ambulances, fire tenders, police vehicles, government vehicles deployed for emergency duties and other emergency service vehicles have been exempted from the restrictions.
