Shrawan to begin, traffic curbs in place

Varanasi: Keeping in view the huge rush of devotees and 'kanwariyas' during the holy month of Shrawan starting from July 20, the vehicular movement will be restricted on many roads and routes in the city. No vehicle would be allowed to move towards Godowlia and Dashashwamedh from Maidagin, Luxa, Benia crossing and Sonarpura.
The roads leading towards Kashi Vishwanath will be 'no-vehicle zone' every Sunday night to Monday midnight as people come to the city to offer prayer to Lord Shiva on Mondays.
Parking places have been identified in areas including Rohaniya and Bharat Mata Mandir. Barricades are being erected along the roads leading to Kashi Vishwanath temple and Dashashwamedh Ghat.
