Hyderabad traffic police have imposed restrictions and diversions around key roads near Hussainsagar as the Ganesh immersion procession continues, urging motorists to avoid Tank Bund unless travel through the area is necessary.
The Hyderabad City Traffic Police issued the advisory on September 26 through its official social media account. The notice was issued in view of the ongoing Ganesh immersion procession and warned commuters that traffic movement would remain affected around the immersion routes.
Motorists were stopped at Tank Bund as idols continued to be brought for immersion in Hyderabad. The traffic police said commuters should take note of the restrictions and diversions and follow official updates before beginning their journeys.
The affected locations listed in the advisory include Tank Bund, Necklace Road, NTR Marg, PV Statue and Indira Gandhi Rotary. These roads and junctions are important links around the Hussainsagar waterfront and are used by commuters travelling between central Hyderabad and adjoining areas. Restrictions in the area are therefore likely to affect through-traffic as well as vehicles approaching the immersion zone.
The advisory does not provide a fixed end time for the restrictions. Instead, it asks motorists to avoid travelling through Tank Bund unless necessary and to follow traffic instructions issued by the Hyderabad City Traffic Police. Commuters using routes connected to Necklace Road, NTR Marg, PV Statue and Indira Gandhi Rotary have also been asked to account for diversions while planning their journeys.
The restrictions are part of the traffic management arrangements for the immersion procession. Such arrangements are required to regulate vehicle movement around roads being used by processions and vehicles carrying idols, while allowing the immersion activity to continue. The police advisory identifies the specific locations where commuters should expect controlled or diverted movement but does not publish additional route details in the notice carried by Deccan Chronicle.
For residents, the immediate operational instruction is to avoid the Tank Bund area unless the journey is essential. Those travelling towards or around the listed roads should rely on the latest Hyderabad City Traffic Police advisories rather than assume that normal routes remain open. Traffic conditions may also change as the procession moves and as police personnel manage access to the affected roads.
The advisory was issued by the Hyderabad City Traffic Police and remains the official guidance available in the supplied report. The next update on the restrictions, including any changes to affected roads or the resumption of normal traffic, will depend on further instructions from the traffic police as the Ganesh immersion procession progresses.
