Multiple protests by political parties including Congress, CPI and AAP in the city’s Central Business District on Wednesday affected traffic and led to a huge pile-up of vehicles on many stretches.
Traffic snarls were observed on J.C. Road, K.G. Road, Nrupatunga Road, Mysore Bank Circle, Palace Road, Majestic, Anand Rao Circle, Sheshadri Road and other areas.
While the Congress is taking out a rally from Gandhi Statue in Maurya Circle to Freedom Park, AAP is taking a rally from RBI premises on Nrupatunga Road to Kandaya Bhavan on K.G. Road. The CPI is holding a protest at Mysore Bank Circle. The three protests are happening almost simultaneously.
