A organizer of the event said that 50 cars were flagged off from five star hotel at Gurugram’s Khidki Daula toll to Shimla. The car rally was given free passage by the police vis a vis to general commuters.

The Chakka Jamm by the BJP affiliated trade union BMS today cordon the capital town on the same route to supports the demands of Anganwadi and Salai teachers government employees.
A local resident Ramesh Kumar told us that two events caused crippling down of vehicular traffic in the town and some of the officers of administration have to rushed to spot to open the traffic.
He said that a 400 km rally from Gurugram to Shimla in the hill was held on the weekend and on Monday when vehicular traffic remained congested due to hotel checking in time on Saturday and Check out time on Monday.
It is not clear if the permission was taken by the organizer of the events for the rally and protest during the rush time. 
Number of bottle- neck points often remained congested on the weekend in the town however such events should be spread in less peak hours, Mr S S Jogata the state spokesperson of Aam Adami Party said.
This tourist town witnessed a sudden increase in the footfall of tourists however the sudden increase in the traffic is causing air pollution which needs to be addressed.
 The construction activities along Kalka Shimla four lane road already created the menace and long queue of vehicles polluting the clean environment of Shimla as the number of vehicles are entering in the town beyond saturated capacity of its parking and roads need to be curbed with effective management of traffic.
The Ridge which is considered the heart of town became hotspots of Covid infections as haphazard permission to allow the police parade and organizing of events also flouting the social distancing norms in the crowded place.
Local residents were stopped to walk on the ridge as they were forced to walk on the pavement at Padam Dev Complex and in congested narrow passages owing to the week-long parade organized by the state police. 

The senior citizens and local people who rushed  toward the sunny places have to quell away from the Ridge due to the week long police parade and event held on Monday.
The world facing threat of another deadly variant of Corona Virus seemed to show no regard  in the state as the state administration itself indulged in the creation of a crowd showing least regards to the wearing of masks or not.
 Political rallies are also being held in the state without any purpose and people and political parties activists  are not wearing masks at all or some of them properly.
Covid took the lives of about 3500 people in the last two years, denting the state economy. The failure of crowds and traffic management are inviting another pandemic which could not be ruled out if the situation did not improve immediately.
