# MP Alok Sharma meets police commissioner over Moti Masjid barricading 2026-08-08T21:46:43+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Bhopal MP Alok Sharma met police commissioner Sanjay Kumar on Saturday with a delegation of traders opposed to barricades near Moti Masjid in Old Bhopal. The traders say the traffic arrangement diverts vehicles away from the market, hurting business. They protested and shut down the market on Friday. Sharma sought a solution that balances traffic needs and livelihoods. Police commissioner Kumar said the issue will be discussed with traffic officials and experts from MANIT. A technical survey is scheduled for Sunday to explore alternatives. Additional DCP traffic Basant Kumar Kaul explained that the barricades were installed after four-wheelers repeatedly entered the intersection from the wrong direction, causing jams and trapping ambulances. Sharma also said he would meet Chief Minister Mohan Yadav to push for early implementation of Bhopal's Master Plan. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Tags: Alok Sharma, barricading, Bhopal, Moti Masjid, police commissioner, traffic row Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mp-alok-sharma-meets-police-commissioner-over-moti-masjid-barricading/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
