Bengaluru will experience significant traffic disruptions on June 3, 2026, as D.K. Shivakumar is set to be sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Karnataka at 4 p.m. in the Glass House at Lok Raj Bhavan. The ceremony, expected to draw VVIPs, dignitaries, and political leaders from across the country, has prompted the Bengaluru Traffic Police to impose extensive traffic restrictions and diversions across the Central Business District (CBD).
Between 12 noon and 8 p.m., vehicle movement will be prohibited on several key roads, including stretches of Cubbon Road, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Road, Race Course Road, Queens Road, and roads leading directly to Lok Bhavan. These restrictions aim to manage the heavy congestion anticipated in and around the CBD area due to the event and public gatherings. To help commuters navigate the disruptions, the traffic police have advised using alternative routes such as Shivajinagar, Cunningham Road, Nrupathunga Road, Sivananda Junction, and the Outer Ring Road.
