Nandi Hills to remain closed on February 14 over public safety concerns
Bengaluru: The Chikkaballapura district administration has announced that Nandi Hills will remain closed to visitors on February 14 due to law and order and public safety concerns.
The restriction will be in place from 6 am to 6 pm, and no private vehicles or tourists will be allowed to enter the hill station during this period. Security personnel will be stationed at all entry points to ensure the order is followed.
Officials said the decision was taken because of the heavy rush usually seen on Valentine’s Day, which makes crowd and traffic management difficult.
In recent years, the number of visitors has increased significantly on this day, leading to congestion and parking problems along the road to the hill station.
Nandi Hills is a popular weekend destination for many people from Bengaluru, known for its sunrise and misty views. Although similar restrictions have been imposed earlier during New Year and other special occasions, this is the first time the hill station will be closed on Valentine’s Day.
