If you’re heading out in Bengaluru today, you might want to rethink your route. The Bengaluru Traffic Police have announced a series of traffic restrictions from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the city.

The measures are aimed at ensuring smooth traffic management and security during the event. Several main roads and connecting routes will be closed or have restricted access during these hours. Authorities are urging commuters to plan ahead, use alternate routes, and allow extra travel time.

While exact details of the PM’s schedule are yet to be shared publicly, officials have confirmed that movement will be restricted in and around key central areas where the events are expected to take place.

Public transport services like BMTC buses and Metro trains will continue to run, but some routes may see delays because of diversions. Office-goers and daily commuters are advised to keep track of real-time traffic updates via the Bengaluru Traffic Police’s social media channels.

Events like this often lead to congestion on alternative roads, so planning early is the safest bet. If possible, consider starting your commute before 8:30 am or after 2:30 pm to avoid peak disruption.

With the city hosting high-profile events more often these days, keeping an eye on official traffic alerts can save you both time and stress. Stay safe, plan ahead, and enjoy a smoother journey.
