Shillong traffic curbs for Sunday Eucharistic procession
The Story in Brief
East Khasi Hills police have announced traffic restrictions on several key routes in Shillong on Sunday, 8 November 2026, for the Annual Eucharistic procession.
The stretch from Don Bosco Square towards Dhankheti and vice-versa will be closed from 9 am till the programme ends. From 12 noon, no entry will be enforced from Don Bosco Square towards Seventh Day Adventist junction and vice-versa, and from Dhankheti towards Fire Brigade point and vice-versa.
From 3:30 pm, routes from Gurudwara junction towards Don Bosco Square via Shillong College, and from BK Bajoria junction towards Don Bosco Square via Shillong College, will also be closed. Police have asked commuters to use alternative routes and follow traffic personnel instructions.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The restrictions shut down the main artery from Don Bosco Square through Dhankheti for most of Sunday, forcing all cross-town traffic onto secondary roads in a city with few parallel routes. No alternate route plan or timeline for reopening has been issued, leaving commuters to rely on police directions at each closure point. The next step for residents is to navigate the staggered no-entry timings from 9 am, 12 noon, and 3:30 pm.
