Devotees gear up as Patna transforms into a sea of Shiva chants with Maha Shivratri shobha yatras today. Traffic Police braces for the influx at Khajpura temple and citywide events, enforcing diversions from Sunday 2 PM to late night across major arteries.
SP Sagar Kumar detailed the no-go: Under Rajabazar Flyover, Dumra TOP to Jagdev Path bars all normal traffic till processions end. Rukanpura-Zoo buses go overhead on flyover. Trucks and heavies stopped at city edges until after 12 AM.
Nehru Path tweaks: Autos to Patna Junction/IT Golambar via Fulwari Jail Mor from Jagdev Path. To AG Colony/Digha, exit Nehru at pillar 4 for Ambedkar Path-Maurya Path. East-west at Dumra TOP diverts airport west via flyover-Rukanpura-Rupaspur underpass U-turn.
Emergencies sail through unobstructed. DM Thyagarajan SM and SSP Kartiikeya Sharma command drone-overseen ops, CCTV watch, and 75 fortified spots with magistrates, cops, lathi squads. Suspicious activity? Call 0612-2219810, 2219234, or 112.
Bypass Rajabazar, Khajpura. Extra time for flights or trains. Compliance with signals prevents gridlock, letting celebrations shine.
