Impact on City Bus Service
City buses ply between Hubballi-Dharwad, including HDBRTS and Bendre city buses, which have to drop passengers at the KMC stop. Vehicles coming from Dharwad have to make a U-turn at KIMS by going inside the KIMS campus.
Congress leader Rajay Ullagaddimath criticised traffic regulations, saying that closing the main roads of the city for a whopping 30 hours for a programme of just hours is not acceptable, and hence the police should reconsider this plan and chalk out a sensible, scientific, and alternative route plan.
