Dehradun Police Superintendent Ajay Singh said that around 4:30 and 5:00 PM, Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s convoy will proceed towards Haridwar via the Barrage Bridge, Rishikesh AIIMS, IDPL, and Canal Gate. During this time, traffic will be stopped and diverted 15 minutes in advance. He appealed to everyone using this route to use alternative routes. He said that every effort has been made to ensure that the general public does not face any inconvenience. After the convoy passes, the route will be opened to the public.
It should be noted that Home Minister Amit Shah will participate in several programs in Haridwar and Rishikesh. In view of Home Minister Amit Shah’s programs, the police have made elaborate security arrangements in Haridwar and Rishikesh. The entire area has been turned into a security zone. Swargashram area turned into a police camp: The monthly magazine Kalyan, published by Geeta Press, is completing 100 years in January. A centenary year celebration has been organized at Geeta Bhawan, Swarg Ashram from January 20 to 22. Home Minister Amit Shah will participate in the program as the chief guest on the first day. Therefore, the police are on high alert in the Muni Ki Reti and Lakshman Jhula areas. The police are also active near the Barrage Bridge in Dehradun.
Congress creates a ruckus before the Union Home Minister’s program: Before Home Minister Amit Shah’s program, the Congress also created a ruckus at the Haridwar border. It is reported that Jyoti Rautela, the state president of the Uttarakhand Mahila Morcha (women’s wing), had planned to submit a memorandum to Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the suicide of farmer Sukhwant in Kashipur and the controversial statement made by Girdhari Lal Sahu, husband of Uttarakhand cabinet minister Rekha Arya. Last night, while Jyoti Rautela was traveling from Haridwar to Dehradun, she was stopped by the police at the Haridwar border, leading to a heated argument with the officers. Jyoti Rautela alleges that she wanted to submit a memorandum to Home Minister Amit Shah, who was expected to visit Haridwar, concerning Sukhwant’s suicide and the actions of Girdhari Lal Sahu, but the police forcibly stopped her at the border, which she considers completely wrong.
