To avoid regular traffic jams and related issues, the traffic police have prepared a proposal to restrict the entry of autorickshaws between Panch Mohalla Kaman- Charminar-Gulzar Houz stretch. Restrictions on the movement of autorickshaws are already in force on Sardar Mahal Road and Lad Bazaar stretch. A notification to this effect is expected soon.

“Once the orders are issued, autorickshaws will not be allowed around Charminar. The drivers will have to take the inner ring road of Charminar Pedestriation Project,” Charminar Traffic Inspector N. Lingaiah said.
