Internet, SMS Services Suspended for 24 Hours in Haryana’s Nuh District

Nuh: While preparing for the Brajmandal Yatra scheduled for July 14, the district administration in Nuh, Haryana, has imposed a 24-hour suspension of internet and bulk SMS services. The restrictions will be in effect from 9 PM on July 13 to 9 PM on July 14, in an effort to maintain public order and curb the spread of misinformation.

However, essential SMS services linked to banking transactions and mobile recharges will continue to function during the suspension.

According to the Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department, the move is a preventive measure aimed at avoiding any disruption during the religious procession.

Tight Security After Last Year’s Violence

The decision comes after last year’s Brajmandal Yatra was marred by violent clashes in Nuh, resulting in several fatalities. In response, authorities are deploying heightened security protocols this year to ensure peaceful proceedings.

Chief Minister Nayab Saini has also directed the closure of meat shops and processing units situated along the Yatra route on July 14. As part of the enhanced security measures, 2,500 police personnel have been stationed in key areas throughout the district.

Traffic Rerouted, Heavy Vehicles Diverted

To minimize public inconvenience and maintain order, the police have issued a traffic advisory, implementing multiple diversions for heavy vehicles:

• From Alwar to Gurugram/Sohna: Vehicles will be rerouted via Ambedkar Chowk (Firozpur Jhirka), Mumbai Expressway, KMP (Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway), and Rewasan.
• From Gurugram/Sohna to Alwar: Same route applies in reverse via KMP Rewasan, Mumbai Expressway, and Ambedkar Chowk.
• From Taoru to Alwar: Redirected through KMP Rewasan, Mumbai Expressway, and Ambedkar Chowk.
• From Palwal, Hodal, Aligarh (U.P.) to Alwar: Must follow the KMP, Mumbai Expressway, and Firozpur Jhirka route.
• Heavy vehicles heading to Nuh from any direction will not be permitted entry until the Yatra concludes.
• From Jaipur to Nuh: Entry will be granted only after the event ends, via Mumbai Expressway and KMP Rewasan.
• From Punhana, Gurugram, and Taoru to Nuh: Entry restricted until the Yatra is over.

Authorities have appealed to the public to cooperate with law enforcement and follow traffic instructions to ensure a smooth and incident-free religious procession.
