Parking isn’t allowed on both sides of the roads at Kaladi Junction, Chandrapura, Eukali Junction and Kodanad Bridge up to Malayattoor. Vehicles parked on the roadside would be seized, and strict action would be taken against the RC owner. Avoid unnecessary travel to avoid stampedes and accidents. People residing in the vicinity of the venue have been urged to cooperate with these traffic restrictions, especially the one-way traffic system. Heavy vehicles, such as trucks and tipper lorries, shouldn’t use these routes without prior permission on these days.
