While thousands are preparing to join the yatra as it moves through the township, city residents who intend to carry on with their routine during the two days are likely to face a host of traffic hurdles. The road from the Amb Sahib light point towards the YPS roundabout will be shut down for all traffic on March 3 from 10.30 am onwards. The traffic would be diverted from the Amb Sahib light point. The road will be made functional only after the yatra moves from the YPS roundabout towards Madanpur roundabout.
“The yatra will go on from the Madanpur roundabout to the Phase IV dividing road to Phase 1, 2 and 4 roundabouts and reach Gurudwara Singh Sabha Phase I. From here it will go on to the Phase 1 barrier, phase VI motor market, truck union, industrial area, Phase V market, Phase 3B2, Phase 7 and reach the Amb Sahib Gurdwara in Phase VIII in the evening,” said Hardeep, SGPC member, Mohali, and convener of the Shatabdi Purab Committee.
