A surge of visitors during the Diwali holidays has clogged Mount Abu’s roads, prompting officials to create distinct queues for online and cash payments.
Mount Abu, a popular hill‑station in Rajasthan, has been swamped by a large number of holiday‑makers during the Diwali break. Vehicles travelling from Cheepaberi to the Yatri Kar Naka have formed long queues, causing severe congestion on the main access routes.
Chairman Sunil Acharya arrived at the scene and ordered the creation of separate lines for online and cash payments to speed up the clearance of vehicles. The split‑queue system was set up on the spot to manage the heavy flow of tourists and to reduce waiting times.
Local authorities have advised travelers to plan alternate routes, avoid peak hours, and use digital payment methods where possible. The measures are expected to ease the bottleneck until the festive rush subsides.
