Number of vehicles plying on the roads of Shimla has more than doubled in the last 14 years, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur informed the state assembly on Monday.

Replying to a question regarding the government's plan to minimise traffic congestion in Shimla, the CM said a committee headed by principal secretary (transport) had already been constituted to prepare 'Shimla Mobility Plan'.

He said, "Shimla is an internationally known tourist destination and traffic jams in the city at a regular interval are a matter of concern."
