Jammu traffic diversions for Dussehra processions on October 20
The Story in Brief
Traffic diversions and restrictions will be imposed on several roads in Jammu city on October 20 to facilitate two major Dussehra processions, the Traffic Police has announced. The first procession will start at Dewan Mandir at 4 pm and conclude at Parade Ground by 5.30 pm. The second will begin at Lakshmi Narayan Ji Temple in Gandhi Nagar at 5 pm and reach Dussehra Ground, Gandhi Nagar, by 6 pm.
Vehicles approaching Raghunath Bazar from Vivekanand Chowk and Hari Market will be diverted to alternative routes. Traffic from City Chowk towards Kanak Mandi will be diverted until the first procession passes. On-the-spot diversions may also be imposed on Apsara Road and behind Apsara Theatre. Commuters can contact Traffic Control Unit Jammu at 0191-2459048, WhatsApp at 94191-47732 or the toll-free helpline 103 for assistance.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The order affects two main routes through Jammu city centre and Gandhi Nagar during peak evening hours on 20 October, with diversions lasting up to two hours. The notice leaves flexibility for on-the-spot changes at Apsara Road and behind Apsara Theatre, meaning commuters may face additional closures beyond the published list. No alternative route map or estimated congestion duration beyond the procession windows has been provided, leaving drivers to rely on live police discretion and the helpline numbers issued.
