Mangaluru Police Issue Traffic Advisory Ahead of Janmashtami Festivities

Mangaluru police have issued a traffic advisory in anticipation of the city-wide Janmashtami celebrations. The notice asks motorists to avoid congested areas around temples and cultural venues and to use designated alternate routes wherever possible.
The Hindu festival, marking the birth of Lord Krishna, draws large crowds to public processions, devotional gatherings and community feasts across the coastal city. Authorities expect heightened pedestrian movement and increased vehicular density during the evening aarti and related events.
Police officers will be deployed at key intersections to manage flow, enforce signal compliance and assist stranded drivers. Commuters are urged to follow official instructions, keep windows clear for police signals, and plan their journeys in advance to minimise delays.
