Action plan on cards to avert traffic snarls in Kerala’s Kozhikode during Onam
Entry of solo-driven cars to Kozhikode city likely to be restricted as part of crowd control measures
Kozhikode City police are set to develop a special action plan to ensure smooth traffic flow and prevent illegal parking during the Onam festival. Senior traffic police officers will convene a meeting to discuss the plans and incorporate suggestions from stakeholders. Performance of newly deployed traffic wardens will be reviewed, potentially leading to the enrollment of more personnel.
Instructions will be issued to monitor traffic at major junctions by senior police officers. Solo-driven cars may face restrictions, and entry to Thamarassery Ghat Road will be banned for a week to enhance safety for domestic tourists. Ghat Road Protection Committee will be sought for support. Security around public places will be strengthened, and CCTV surveillance will be improved.
The anti-narcotics squad will prepare a separate action plan to track drug traffickers targeting festival crowds.
