Rishikesh to Get High-tech Parking Soon to Rid Hill Station of Traffic Snarls
News 18Uttrakhand’s Rishikesh, globally famous for heritage and religious tourism, is suffering from sluggish traffic as the city does not have proper parking space. Lakhs of national and international tourists visit Rishikesh but hardly a few want to stay in the city and plan their movement from here as they don’t want to get stuck in long traffic jams. Locals and political leaders, citing regular traffic jams and slow vehicle movement, have several times demanded the local administration to build a parking space in the city and on the city outskirts. The highways connecting Rishikesh also suffer snarls in traffic movement due to massive traffic jams within the city. Long traffic jams and slow traffic movement was witnessed on the 24-kilometre stretch between Haridwar and Rishikesh.
