Srinagar, Aug 11: The Srinagar Traffic Police has issued an advisory for August 12 in view of a Tiranga Rally from SKICC to the Botanical Garden, which will see the participation of several VIPs and dignitaries.
To ensure smooth movement and avoid congestion, designated parking areas have been earmarked. Official vehicles will park at the Royal Spring Golf Course, while participants are advised to use parking at the Botanical Garden and Barista near Lalit Ghat.
