Around 3,00 police personnel will be deployed across the city to ensure smooth traffic flow and maintain law and order. As per the security plans, mobile patrol units, barricading, route supervision teams and drone-based monitoring will be active.
Traffic pressure is likely near the PU and Mohali entry points
Authorities and police remain on alert following the November 10 disruption linked to Panjab University senate polls, when sudden gatherings resulted in hours of stalled traffic. Given the expected turnout, heavy traffic is expected in areas around Sector 43, routes entering from Mohali and Panjab University.
Meanwhile, as per a report by the Times of India, the Panchkula Traffic Police has declared Sector-5 a daily vehicle-free corridor from 6 am to 7:30 am. ACP (Traffic) Surender Singh told the news outlet that the restrictions will apply across the entire loop, covering stretches near Parade Ground, Night Food Market and Shalimar Ground, Bella Vista and the adjoining roads. The decision has been taken to encourage fitness activities.
