Karnataka police arrange shade for two-wheeler riders at traffic signals

In the twin cities of Gadag-Betgeri, in north Karnataka where the relentless heat of the sun makes outdoor activities nearly unbearable, residents are facing significant challenges, especially for two-wheeler riders who are directly exposed to the scorching temperatures and harsh sunlight.

Recognizing the discomfort and safety concerns faced by commuters, particularly



motorcyclists, amidst the oppressive heat, the Gadag police, in collaboration with the Gadag Betageri Municipal Council, has taken proactive measures to provide relief to the public.

Last year, the authorities initiated the installation of green mat canopies at strategic locations, starting with the Mulagunda Naka and Puttraj Circle junctions, known for heavy traffic congestion.
