Mangaluru: In view of the Governor, Chief Minister, and other VVIPs’ visit to the city on May 25 and May 26, where they are scheduled to participate in a program organized at the TMA Pai Hall on MG Road located between PVS and Lal Bagh Junction, potential traffic congestion may arise due to VVIP movement. To mitigate this, it is necessary to close all medians from Nava Bharat Circle to Ladyhill Circle via PVS (Basent Junction, Kodiyal Guttu Cross, Ballalbagh Junction, Nehru Avenue Junction). Commuters utilizing this route are advised to seek alternate routes to reach their destinations, said Mangaluru police in a traffic advisory.

Arrangements for alternative routes are as follows:
