Coimbatore: The Forest Department has introduced a FASTag facility at the Aliyar checkpoint near Pollachi, bringing relief to tourists visiting popular destinations in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve area. This move aims to reduce traffic congestion and waiting times, especially during weekends and holidays.
The Aliyar checkpoint serves as a gateway to several tourist spots including Aliyar, Monkey Falls, Aliyar Park, and is the primary route to Valparai. The road passing through the forest is known for occasional wildlife sightings, attracting numerous visitors from other districts and states who come to enjoy the cool climate and scenic beauty.
During peak seasons and festive periods, the area experiences heavy traffic congestion due to the influx of tourists. To address this issue, the Forest Department implemented the FASTag system at the Aliyar checkpoint last Sunday. This new system allows vehicles to pass through quickly without long waiting times, much to the delight of tourists.
The FASTag facility has been well-received by visitors, who appreciate the reduced waiting times and smoother flow of traffic. This initiative is expected to enhance the overall tourist experience in the region, making it more convenient for people to explore the natural beauty of the Anamalai Tiger Reserve and its surroundings.
Local authorities hope that this measure will not only improve traffic management but also encourage more tourists to visit the area, thereby boosting local tourism. The successful implementation of the FASTag system at Aliyar checkpoint could potentially serve as a model for other popular tourist destinations facing similar congestion issues.
