Karnaraka Rajyotsava 2026: Bengaluru traffic restrictions, parking rules around Kanteerava Stadium on November 1
Bengaluru police imposed traffic restrictions around Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Sunday on the occasion of Karnataka Rajyotsava 2026.
On November 1, Karnataka will be celebrating its 70th Kannada Rajyotsava. As part of the festivities, Bengaluru police have imposed traffic restrictions around Sree Kanteerava Stadium, where Chief Minister DK Shivakumar is expected to attend a state-level program organized by the Department of Public Instruction.
With an anticipated attendance of over 20,000 schoolchildren arriving via 300-400 school buses, the police have devised specific traffic arrangements to manage the congestion. Vehicles using certain routes will be directed through specific junctions and exits to minimize traffic buildup around the stadium.
Parking will not be allowed on several key roads, including Nrupathunga Road, Seshadri Road, Kasturba Road, Kempegowda Road, and RRMR Road. Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed his best wishes for Karnataka's foundation day, praising the state for its rich traditions, achievements, and potential for further growth.
Meanwhile, Karnataka's Chief Minister DK Shivakumar declined to participate in an INDIA bloc protest planned for the same day in Delhi, citing commitments to the state's Rajyotsava celebrations. However, he urged party workers and leaders to join the protest in their respective areas. The party has instructed district ministers and MLAs to organize events and display the national flag in their regions.
