He also made it clear that recommendation letters seeking vehicle entry will not be entertained and that no passes will be issued on that basis. The restrictions will come into force from 10 pm today, ahead of third Ashada Friday on July 31. The decision follows the chaos witnessed on second Ashada Friday (July 24), when a large number of VIP devotees and people carrying recommendation letters from Ministers were allowed unrestricted entry. The DC said restrictions have been imposed to ensure safe and orderly movement of thousands of devotees from across Karnataka and neighbouring States during Ashada festivities. The District Administration has put in place special traffic management and security arrangements to ensure safe and hassle-free darshan while providing devotees with essential amenities.
