The ban on vehicular movement put the motorists into trouble in reaching their destinations on time.
The traffic movement on Kasturba Road and Anil Kumble Circle, which is already affected by the ongoing Metro rail work, was further compounded after a large crowd gathered near the Stadium as the news of the more explosives being found spread. It was only after hours that the police allowed traffic to resume on this stretch..
Anxious, but curious commuters were seen asking about the explosives and other details. Many others, however, wanted to know the possibility of the City hosting the scheduled semi-final matches.
As an immediate fall-out of the explosions, security has been beefed up at all public places, bus stands, railway stations, malls, multiplexes, cinema theatres and places of worship.
