Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming Bengaluru visit has led the local administration to announce traffic arrangements and school holidays in a few areas of the city. The Bengaluru Traffic Police has issued an advisory to guide commuters about the traffic restrictions, road closures and diversions planned during his visit. Citizens have been told to plan their travel accordingly to avoid inconvenience.
The traffic advisory will likely cover essential roads and routes linking essential places related to the prime minister’s programme. Travellers might experience brief restrictions, diversions and delays, notably throughout the passage of the convoy of automobiles carrying the prime minister. Drivers have been advised to keep away from the roads as much as possible and adjust to directives of the site visitors’ personnel deployed on roads in numerous parts of town.
The advisory further has special instructions for candidates appearing for CA exams at the centres located in and around the riot-hit areas. Candidates are advised to make use of the changed traffic arrangements, depart early to reach their centre before reporting time. They can also contact the Bengaluru Traffic Police Control Room at 22943131 / 22943030 for help.
Meanwhile, a few private schools from the southern part of Bengaluru (mostly towards Bannerghatta Road) have declared a holiday on November 13. The school management has taken this decision to prevent inconvenience to students and parents while making their way through the traffic and transport chaos. However, the holiday is not for the entire city, only for some schools.
Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Bengaluru will see the swearing-in of the Namma Metro Pink Line from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere, in addition to the laying open of development projects valued at over 15,600 crore rupees.
