One of the many ways to keep the flow of traffic unimpeded especially in areas that have many Shoulder Temple traffic includes the use of one way vehicular flow August 17 2006.

While addressing their religious practices, the devotees and the general audience should be restrained only to the protected vehicle parking spaces and not any part of the roadside. Illegally parked vehicles on the percent of the road stretch will be subject to the regard of the MV Act.
