Nandi Hills Closed for New Year
Nandi Hills is a popular place near Bengaluru where many people go to celebrate New Year.
This year, the authorities decided to close it to the public from the afternoon of December 31 until the morning of January 1.
They did this because too many people usually visit, causing big crowds and traffic jams.
Only people who booked guest houses in advance are allowed to enter during this time.
This is to keep everyone safe and make sure the place is not too crowded.
Nandi Hills closed to the public from 2 PM on December 31 to 10 AM on January 1.
Decision made to prevent overcrowding and traffic congestion during New Year celebrations.
Expected visitor count often exceeds 25,000 on peak days.
Only those with advance guest house bookings are exempt from the closure.
Measures aim to ensure safety and orderly management at the hill station.
