Mysore/Mysuru: In response to Kerala’s request to permit night traffic on Bandipur-Sultan Bathery (Wayanad) road within Bandipur Tiger Reserve, Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre recently visited Bandipur to assess the check-posts on National Highway 766, connecting Karnataka and Kerala through Bandipur.
As of now, vehicular traffic is restricted on this road from 9 pm to 6 am, with only ambulances and five buses from Karnataka and Kerala permitted during night. The Supreme Court upheld this ban in 2019.
