The city police, which has already announced one-ways on several roads in the Central Business District of Mysuru City during Dasara festivities, is seriously examining the possibility of converting a road in the vicinity of Mysuru Palace into a vehicle-free zone.
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru on Saturday, City Police Commissioner Chandragupta said there is a growing demand from certain quarters to declare the roads around Mysuru Palace as vehicle-free zones during Dasara festival. The police, which is seriously examining the proposal, is studying the traffic gridlocks such a move will create. An announcement in the regard will be made in the next one or two days, he said.
Possibly, the road from Gun House Circle to KR Circle is likely to be declared a no-vehicle zone after 9 p.m. “We will reveal the details soon. Our appeal to the public is to come to witness the illumination around Mysuru Palace on foot as far as possible”, he said.
