Mussoorie plans mandatory pre-registration for tourists to manage peak season crowd

Dehradun: Authorities are planning to launch a pre-registration system for tourists visiting Mussoorie during peak travel seasons to tackle overcrowding and manage traffic after footfall doubled between 2022 and 2024. Tourists who fail to register may be denied entry at key checkpoints under the proposed system. More than 21 lakh visitors had reached the hill town in 2024, up from over 11 lakh in 2022, officials said. Secretary (tourism) Dhiraj Singh Garbyal told TOI the first step would be to estimate the number of tourists and vehicles arriving during peak periods — summer and winter holidays and long weekends — by installing cameras at three entry points: Kimadi, Kempty Fall and Kuthal gate. "The problem of overcrowding and long traffic jams is only during the peak season, so there's no point having a year-round pre-registration system. Our teams are working on introducing the concept during those times," he said. Long traffic jams of several hours have become a frequent problem during tourist weekends, especially from Gandhi Chowk to Mall Road. In June this year, a Delhi tourist died after being stuck in congestion and failing to reach hospital care. The proposed registration form would collect details like number of tourists, contact and vehicle numbers, tour duration and accommodation. Garbyal added that tourism department officials met stakeholders on Friday and discussed key aspects of the plan. "Through this exercise, we intend to study, assess the situation and then take effective steps like pre-registration or having one-way roads for entry and exit," he said. The online registration will be OTP-based. Indian tourists will get their OTP on their phones, while foreigners will receive it by email. Once completed, the registration will generate a QR code. Vehicles entering Mussoorie will be screened through Automated Number Plate Recognition systems, and tourists without a valid QR code may be turned away at the entry points. The tourism department also plans to install Automated Number Plate Recognition systems at the three identified entry points. The QR codes will be verified by staff before allowing entry. Officials have also halted construction on Mall Road after a court order, citing concerns that ongoing work may worsen traffic congestion. Sandeep Sahni, president of Mussoorie Hotel Association, and others present at the meeting, raised concerns over the recurring problem.

Abhishek Bachchan says daughter Aaradhya is turning into a wonderful lady because of wife Aishwarya Rai: ‘She does the heavy lifting…'

Abhishek Bachchan is currently on a promotional spree. He has been promoting his film Kaalidhar Laapata that released on Zee 5 on July 4. Apart from talking about the film, he has been giving a lot of insights about his family, daughter Aaradhya and wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan that every fan is interested in knowing. In a recent interview, the I Want To Talk star revealed that his daughter does not have a phone and is not on any social media and gave all the credit to his beautiful wife. Abhishek Bachchan gives credit to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for raising Aaradhya Bachchan Talking to Nayandeep Rakshit on his YouTube channel, Abhishek Bachchan was asked about the challenges they face in raising a child in today's day and time. He was asked whether Aaradhya Bachchan had a reckoning of the fame her parents or grandparents enjoy. The Sarkar actor instantly replied that he had never really spoken to her daughter about this, but he believed that she has grown up now and understands everything. He further added that the credit for this entirely goes to her mother, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Talking about his privilege, he spoke, 'I have the liberty, I get to go out and make my movie, and Aishwarya does the heavy lifting with Aaradhya, and she is amazing and selfless. Which I find amazing.' He confessed that fathers do not have the ability to be as giving as mothers because they are wired in a different way. They cannot prioritise their child as the top priority, and this is a gift that only mothers possess, said Junior Bachchan. Abhishek Bachchan on Aaradhya being the pride of the family Elaborating on how it still stands true for him at 49, Abhishek said, 'My mom is 76, I'm 49 and that's your comfort for every child. And no matter how old you are, to your mother, you are always going to be a baby.' Bachchan further revealed that daughter Aaradhya is not on any social media and does not have a phone also. 'She is turning up to be a wonderful little lady. She is the pride and joy of the family, and ya, we are blessed,' concluded the Kaalidhar Laapata star.
