Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Bengaluru on May 10, prompting the Bengaluru Traffic Police to impose traffic restrictions on key roads, including HAL Road and NICE Road, to ensure smooth movement of the VVIP convoy.
Traffic Restrictions and Diversions
According to officials, the traffic curbs will be in effect from early morning until the conclusion of the Prime Minister's engagements. Commuters using HAL Road and NICE Road are advised to take alternate routes to avoid delays. The police have issued a detailed advisory listing diversions and prohibited areas.
Key Points of the Advisory
- HAL Road: Traffic will be restricted from the HAL Airport junction to the Marathahalli bridge. Vehicles are advised to use Old Airport Road or Outer Ring Road as alternatives.
- NICE Road: Stretches near the NICE Road junction with Bannerghatta Road will be closed intermittently. Commuters can use Bannerghatta Road or Mysore Road.
- Timings: Restrictions are likely from 7 AM to 12 PM, subject to changes based on the Prime Minister's schedule.
The police have also prohibited parking on these routes and warned of strict action against violators. Residents and office-goers are urged to carpool or use public transport to ease congestion.
PM Modi's Schedule
During his visit, Prime Minister Modi is expected to participate in multiple events, including inaugurating development projects and addressing a public gathering. The exact itinerary is yet to be officially confirmed, but security arrangements have been tightened across the city.
This visit marks the Prime Minister's first trip to Bengaluru in several months, and the administration is leaving no stone unturned to ensure smooth conduct. The traffic police have deployed additional personnel at key intersections to manage the flow.
Commuters are advised to stay updated via the Bengaluru Traffic Police's official social media handles and plan their journeys accordingly to avoid inconvenience.
