Traffic movement allowed inside Cubbon Park on second and fourth Saturdays

In yet another controversy surrounding one of Bengaluru’s largest lung spaces – Cubbon Park — a government order which was passed on February 8 by the Horticulture Department has permitted the movement of vehicles inside Cubbon Park on second and fourth Saturdays for three months. “To avoid inconvenience to the public and for smooth flow of traffic, vehicular movement will be allowed inside Cubbon Park premises from High Court to Siddalingaiah Circle and from Siddalingaiah Circle to High Court on second and fourth Saturdays on a trial basis for three months,” the order says. Anucheth, Joint Commissioner of Police, had said that allowing traffic inside Cubbon Park will help solve the traffic issues on the roads outside, the order says. For a few years now, vehicular movement has been banned inside Cubbon Park on Sundays, second and fourth Saturdays, and other general holidays.
