Traffic movement at the entrance of the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway was severely affected on Sunday morning as vehicles piled up at the toll booth in Kaniminike. While the normal Sunday crowd wanted to escape the restrictions imposed on movement of traffic between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., BJP followers headed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s public rally at Channapatna in Ramanagara district added to the traffic.
Vehicles lined up for over a kilometre and took at least half an hour to cross the toll. Y. Nagaraj, who was headed to Channapatna waited for 45 minutes to just cross the toll booth. “What is the point in wasting so much time to clear the toll and enter a fast expressway? I had not seen such a traffic in a long time,” he said.
