Traffic movement in and around Kengeri and NICE Road junction on Mysuru Road was disrupted at the launch of the padayatra, organised by opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal (Secular), at the junction.
Vehicles coming towards Bengaluru and taking NICE Road are stranded as hundreds of vehicles carrying BJP supporters are moving towards the venue of the political event. Motorists coming from Kengeri to NICE Road Junction and on the down ramp of the Bengaluru-Mysuru Access Controlled Highway while entering the city have to slow down.
Police personnel have been deployed along the stretch. Traffic police have barricaded both sides of the road as parking of vehicles of political workers, along either side of the road, is adding to the chaos.
