To handle the massive surge of devotees during Bahuda Yatra and Suna Besha, Puri Police has issued a special traffic and parking advisory, particularly for two-wheelers.
Key route and parking arrangements include:
From Brahmagiri: Vehicles can reach Old Jagannath Ballav and Matitota Playground via Mangalaghat. Access to Matitota Helipad Ground is also available via Srisetu.
From Bhubaneswar: Commuters should take the Maltipatpur–Batgaon–Mangalaghat route to reach Old Jagannath Ballav or Matitota Playground. Once full, traffic will be directed to Matitota Helipad Ground.
From Konark: Devotees can park at Blue Flag Beach and Nilachal Ashok Parking via Grid Station Chowk, Talbonia, and Subhash Bose Chowk.
These measures aim to prevent gridlocks and ensure smooth movement. For real-time updates or assistance, devotees can reach the Puri Police WhatsApp Chatbot (+91 87631 99400) or call the emergency helpline 112.
