Entry of two-wheelers, autos and tractors banned on Bangalore-Chennai Expressway, decision taken due to this reason
Karnataka Police has imposed strict restrictions on the movement of two-wheelers, auto-rickshaws, and tractors on some parts of the Bangalore-Chennai Expressway.
Given the frequent fatal accidents in the Kolar district of Karnataka, the police have imposed strict restrictions on the movement of two-wheelers, auto-rickshaws, and tractors on some parts of the Bangalore-Chennai Expressway. According to media reports, more than 15 people have died in more than 10 serious accidents in the last three months.
The ACB team on Friday laid an ambush in a shop dealing in fertilizers-seed in the name of Kisan Seva Kendra on the way to the subdivisional office opposite the high school premises at 5:30 pm. The bribe money had to be picked up by the accused Assistant Agriculture Officer (AAO) on a two-wheeler. The bribe money was recovered from the accused's possession, whose hands turned pink while getting washed.
In March 2025, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) issued a circular banning two-wheelers from plying on the expressway. But it was not strictly implemented. Police said that even now, vehicles like bikes, autos, bullock carts, and tractors were seen plying on the expressway, risking their own lives as well as the lives of others.
