15 lakh vehicles flood Shimla in 45 days! Police roll out 5-point plan to beat tourist gridlock

As the summer holiday season draws thousands of tourists to Himachal Pradesh, Shimla is witnessing an unprecedented surge in vehicular movement. Between May 1 and June 15, nearly 15 lakh vehicles entered the hill town which prompted the police to implement an extensive five-point traffic management strategy to prevent congestion and ensure smooth travel. The rush has intensified with schools across the country closing for summer vacations, leading to packed highways, crowded tourist hotspots and frequent traffic snarls on roads leading to Shimla and nearby destinations. According to Shimla Superintendent of Police Gaurav Singh, the administration has significantly strengthened traffic management arrangements to cope with the heavy influx. He said the situation remains manageable provided bottlenecks within the city are addressed effectively.
