The Futala Lakeside road will be closed on Independence Day to prevent traffic congestion, as announced by the city’s Traffic Police.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Sashikant Satav has issued a notification implementing the road closure and traffic diversions under Sections 115, 116, and 117 of the Motor Vehicle Act. Vehicular traffic will be redirected from the old Octroi Post on Amravati Road towards Ravi Nagar Square and Bharat Nagar Square to help ease congestion and ensure smoother traffic flow.
Additionally, the Traffic Police will conduct a special drive around Futala Lake, focusing on curbing hooliganism, particularly among youngsters riding two-wheelers—a recurring issue during Independence Day celebrations.
Motorists are advised to plan alternative routes and follow the detours to avoid delays. The public is encouraged to cooperate with these measures to facilitate a safe and orderly Independence Day celebration.
