Greenko Hyderabad Open: Traffic Restrictions in the city tomorrow

Seems like the traffic on SP Road will be diverted or stopped tomorrow due to the Vice President's visit to the city. As per popular newspapers, the timing of the diversions are 12:15 pm to 1 pm and 3:30 pm to 4 pm in the SP Road area, but it can go a little beyond given the nature of such things. The traffic in and around Rajbhawan road and Khairatabad area will be affected from 2pm -4 pm. Please do factor this in while trying to reach the venue tomorrow.

The gates of the auditorium will open at 1:45 pm so please try and be at the venue on time.
