According to the Deputy Conservator of the Forests, TTD, the months of August and September happen to be the peak breeding season for wild animals.

As such, the wild animals were often seen crossing roads along the First Ghat Road.

To avoid human-animal conflict and in the interests of both the devotees and the wild animals, the TTD has decided to allow two-wheelers to ply on both the first and second ghat roads only from 6 am to 9 pm till September 30.

The TTD in a press release appealed to the devotees to make note of the change in timings and co-operate with the management.
