Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar travelled by Namma Metro from Vidhana Soudha to Silk Institute while heading to Kanakapura. The Chief Minister's Office said the decision was taken to avoid traffic disruptions that could have been caused by a zero-traffic convoy arrangement. During the journey, Shivakumar interacted with commuters before continuing by road to Kanakapura, where he is visiting his constituency for the first time since becoming Chief Minister.
