BTP directs fuel tankers to use outer roads to ease Bengaluru traffic congestion

The Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) has directed oil companies and fuel tanker owners not supplying petrol pumps in the city to use the Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR) and outer roads instead of passing through Bengaluru. This move aims to ease traffic congestion and reduce safety risks. Officials noted that many tankers merely pass through Bengaluru, while only a few supply fuel to the city's petrol pumps. The BTP explained that using the STRR, though adding 10-12 km, would save time and fuel by avoiding city traffic.
