Bhopal traffic diverted for MP Foundation Day at Lal Parade Ground
The Story in Brief
Traffic diversions and parking arrangements have been made in Bhopal for the Madhya Pradesh Foundation Day cultural programme at Lal Parade Ground on Sunday (1 November 2026). The arrangements took effect from 6 pm on Saturday (31 October 2026).
Additional DCP (traffic) Basant Kumar Kaul said vehicles travelling to and from Lal Parade Ground via Court Crossing will be diverted through Link Road No. 1, Roshanpura, Banganga and Polytechnic Crossing. Vehicles from Bharat Talkies towards New Bhopal will use Jinsi Crossing, Maida Mills Road and Board Office Crossing before proceeding via Link Road No. 1 or 2. Vehicles from Roshanpura towards Old Bhopal will be diverted through Banganga, Polytechnic Crossing, Retghat, Moti Masjid and Royal Market.
Visitors from Old Bhopal can reach the ground via Royal Market, Moti Masjid, Retghat, Polytechnic Crossing and Gandhi Park. Visitor vehicles will be parked within the Jail Headquarters premises. Media vehicles will enter through Vijay Dwar and park at the DIG SAF office.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The diversion affects multiple key crossings from Saturday evening through Sunday, meaning residents and commuters in both Old and New Bhopal must plan alternative routes. The notice names no end time for the restrictions, so the disruption lasts at least until the programme concludes. Visitors have a designated parking area at the Jail Headquarters, while media vehicles get a separate entry and parking spot. Those attending from Old Bhopal have a specific route prescribed via Retghat and Gandhi Park.
