Responding to recent disruptions caused by a surge in tourist activity, highway patrol police from the Mudigere division have heightened their presence in Charmadi Ghat. This strategic initiative aims to manage traffic congestion and enhance visitor safety amid the allure of swollen waterfalls following recent rains.
The scenic Charmadi Ghat has experienced an influx of tourists, leading to issues like roadside parking that obstructs traffic flow on narrow roads. Additionally, tourists have engaged in risky behaviors such as climbing rocks and posing for photos in hazardous locations, especially during periods of low visibility.
To address these concerns, highway patrol officers have intensified monitoring efforts. Their primary focus includes preventing traffic jams and discouraging dangerous activities. Officers actively advise tourists against roadside parking and warn them about the risks associated with unsafe behaviors.
Continuous presence of patrol vehicles throughout the Chikkamagaluru ghat section ensures smooth traffic flow and compliance with safety guidelines. This proactive approach by the police aims to maintain order and safety while preserving the natural beauty and accessibility of Charmadi Ghat for all visitors.
