CM says he will forego zero traffic protocol

BENGALURU: A day after he took oath of office as Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah on Sunday stated that he will forego zero traffic protocol for his movement.

I have asked Bengaluru City Police Commissioner to take back the 'Zero Traffic' protocol for my vehicular movement.

I have taken the decision after seeing the problems faced by the people travelling along the stretch where there are restrictions due to 'zero traffic.'
