Police managed to keep traffic in Gariahat in south Kolkata running smoothly on the first day of the week with the Gariahat flyover closed on the third consecutive day for load testing on Monday.
The flyover will reopen on Tuesday.
The police deployed extra forces and created awareness among motorists so they could weigh their options before approaching Gariahat. These steps led the police to be able to manage one of the busiest crossings in the city without any diversions on Monday, when all schools and colleges were open and vehicular pressure on the roads was high.
