Section 144 imposed by Ggn Dy Commissioner

As thousands of commuters were left stranded on Gurgaon Delhi Expressway and NH-8 due to massive traffic jam, Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner T L Satyaprakash on friday imposed prohibitory orders near Hero Honda Chowk here for easing out the congestion.

“Considering the unprecedented rainfall and the flow of huge volume of water due to downward gradient from Delhi towards Gurgaon, prohibitory order under Section 144 CRPC has been imposed near Hero Honda Chowk in the city,” he said.

The Deputy Commissioner said DEO has been directed to request all schools in the city to remain close on Friday and Saturday due to potholes and open manholes.

“Civil agencies may requisition all infrastructure equipment at benchmark rates so as to reposition roads, traffic congestions and other necessary actions. For next three days, the flash flood management works shall be undertaken on quotations basis and all the contractors shall cooperate with the civic agencies,” he said.

Meanwhile, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, has called an emergency meeting in Chandigarh to tackle the ongoing traffic jam and waterlogging problem.
