Udupi–Ucchila Dasara Procession: New Traffic Routes Unveiled

Karnataka’s transport department has released a revised traffic plan for the annual Udupi–Ucchila Dasara procession. The new routes aim to divert vehicular traffic away from the main parade path, which traditionally sees heavy congestion.

Officials said the alternate roads will be clearly marked and monitored by police and traffic police. Signage and barricades will guide commuters to the new routes, reducing delays for both local residents and visitors.

The decision comes ahead of the procession, which is expected to attract thousands of devotees. Authorities urge motorists to follow the posted directions and allow ample time for the parade to pass.

Local businesses and transport operators have welcomed the move, hoping it will minimise disruptions to daily traffic and improve safety during the celebrations.

The Udupi–Ucchila Dasara procession is a significant cultural event, drawing crowds from across Karnataka and beyond.
