In another unrelated update, Bengaluru residents will witness traffic disruptions as Nagawara Main Road remains closed for a 30-day period due to ongoing infrastructure work. Commuters across the city have been advised to plan their travel carefully, as the Bengaluru City Traffic Police have implemented several road closures and diversions across north, central and west Bengaluru.
The Bengaluru City Traffic Police had announced, "In view of white-topping work being carried out by BBMP, all vehicular movement has been completely prohibited on Nagawara Main Road, from Nagawara Junction to Govindapura Junction, for 30 days starting February 20, 2026."
The restriction means the road will remain closed until around March 22, affecting daily commuters in the area.
