Ujjain: Auto-rickshaws banned on Mahakal temple route to ease traffic

In Ujjain, authorities have implemented a ban on auto-rickshaws and e-rickshaws operating along the Haripathak to Neelkanth Dwar route, which leads to the Mahakal temple. This decision is intended to significantly reduce traffic congestion experienced by pilgrims visiting the revered shrine.

The restriction aims to provide a smoother and more accessible journey for devotees, particularly during peak visiting hours and festival seasons. By removing these smaller vehicles from a key access point, officials hope to improve the overall flow of traffic and enhance the pilgrimage experience.

This measure is expected to bring much-needed relief to the temple-goers who have often faced difficulties due to traffic jams on this crucial route.
