DC Jatin Lal Says: Strict Action to Continue for Strengthening Public Order; Appeals for Public Cooperation
Una, November 30
To streamline the traffic system in Una city and manage congestion, the district administration has taken a major step. District Magistrate Jatin Lal, on Friday, issued two important orders, declaring the road from DC Chowk to the Degree College as a No-Parking and No-Vending zone with immediate effect. Additionally, a one-way system has been introduced for four-wheeler vehicles on the busiest stretch of the city — from Rotary Chowk via Old Market up to National Highway 503. The administration clarified that these measures aim to ensure traffic discipline, pedestrian safety, and overall improvement in urban order.
According to the issued orders, unauthorized parking, expansion of roadside shops, and storage of goods on roads and footpaths were creating persistent traffic jams on the DC Chowk–Degree College route. This not only affected public movement but also posed risks to emergency services. Under the new system, parking for all vehicles except two-wheelers will be strictly prohibited, and any violation involving parked vehicles on either side of the road will attract stern action under the Motor Vehicles Act. The entire stretch has also been declared a No-Vending Zone, meaning no carts, street stalls, or obstructive activities will be allowed on the road or footpaths.
As per the second order, the route from Rotary Chowk to Old Market – Post Office – Arvind Marg – NH-503 Extension has been declared One-Way for four-wheelers. Entry of four-wheelers from the Arvind Marg side will be completely prohibited. Moreover, the entire area from Rotary Chowk to MC Parking and Ayurvedic Hospital will also be designated as a No-Parking and No-Vending zone. Setting up shops, stalls, or parking vehicles on roads, footpaths, or public places along this stretch will be strictly banned, and violators will face stringent action.
The administration has decided to implement these orders starting November 29, 2025. DC Jatin Lal emphasized that city roads are limited and unregulated parking or illegal vending causes traffic disorder. He stated that the police, municipal council, and sub-divisional administration have received firm instructions to ensure strict enforcement of these rules.
It is worth noting that, considering the rising traffic jams and inconvenience faced by the public in Una city, DC Jatin Lal had also issued important orders on November 23. Under those orders, the movement of heavy vehicles from DC Chowk to Mehatpur Barrier was strictly regulated. The movement of tippers on this route remains completely banned, while entry of commercial heavy vehicles is restricted from 8 AM to 9 PM.
Appeal for Public Cooperation in Making Una Peaceful, Organized, and Prosperous
DC Jatin Lal explained that as per police inputs, several individuals from outside states often set up pushcarts or stalls without registration, sometimes engaging in illegal activities and disturbing public order. Strengthened monitoring of such elements is therefore necessary. He noted that earlier efforts to improve the system had been made, but the lack of public cooperation caused a slowdown in enforcement. This time, the administration will act with full firmness to make Una city safer, more orderly, and better organized.
He appealed to citizens to cooperate actively, stating that while the administration remains sensitive to all legitimate public demands, maintaining order is a shared responsibility. He urged everyone to contribute to making Una a peaceful, disciplined, and prosperous district.
