Nearly one thousand traffic police officers have been worked during ‘Tsagaan sar’, Mongolia's traditional Lunar New Year Festival, which this year took place from 27th of February to 1st of March. Ulaanbaatar is increasingly suffering from traffic congestion; furthermore, many travelled to the countryside to spend the holiday with members of their families living in all parts of the country. It is not surprising that this dramatically increases the number of vehicles on countryside roads and causes congestion.
Students of the Law Enforcement University have been helping the police by taking part in traffic regulation during the days of this long holiday.
