BENGALURU: Traffic restrictions have been announced in Kengeri in view of the Yeshwantpur Dasara procession scheduled for October 21, 2026. The arrangements are intended to manage vehicle movement and ensure the smooth conduct of the religious procession as Dasara celebrations conclude across Karnataka.
Commuters travelling through Kengeri and nearby areas are advised to plan their journeys in advance and follow instructions issued by Bengaluru Traffic Police. Motorists should also expect possible delays around procession routes and consider alternative roads wherever diversions are in force.
Traffic restrictions to manage procession movement
The temporary restrictions are intended to help police manage the movement of vehicles and procession participants. Such arrangements typically involve regulating access to roads along the procession route, diverting traffic at selected junctions and restricting vehicle parking in areas where crowds are expected.
Commuters travelling through the affected stretches should watch for barricades, temporary road closures and directions from traffic personnel. Residents and visitors attending the procession are advised to cooperate with police and avoid obstructing the route.
Commuters advised to plan ahead
People travelling through Kengeri during the procession should allow additional time for their journeys, particularly during the hours when the procession is expected to pass through the area.
Motorists heading towards workplaces, bus terminals, railway stations or other destinations should check for updates before leaving. Public transport users should also confirm their departure and arrival timings, as traffic restrictions may affect buses and other services operating through the area.
Drivers are advised not to park vehicles along procession routes or at junctions where parking could obstruct emergency access and traffic movement.
Police to oversee traffic management
Traffic police personnel are expected to regulate vehicle movement and guide commuters through the affected stretches. Motorists should follow official diversion signs and instructions from on-duty officers rather than attempting to enter closed roads.
The traffic arrangements are aimed at balancing public convenience with the safety of people participating in the Dasara procession. Commuters are encouraged to remain patient and use alternative routes when directed.
Residents planning to attend the event should check official Bengaluru Traffic Police announcements for confirmed timings, affected roads and designated diversion routes before travelling.
