The endless traffic and blaring horns made way for festive revelry on MG Road on Sunday as the stretch between Anil Kumble Circle and Brigade Road junction celebrated its first “Open Street” initiative. The Directorate of Urban Land Transport which organised the event said that it was an effort to retain the beauty of MG Road. Visitors to the event were seen enjoying the carnival atmosphere. They hoped that more such events would be held at regular intervals across the city. The event which was deferred by a week had pro skateboarders, mime acts, stilt walkers, street magicians, folk dancers, art and cultural exhibitions and caricature artists who kept the crowd engaged.
