Over 200,000 vehicles arrive at the Deyata Kirula exhibition by yesterday. Around 30,000 vehicles arrived at the Deyata Kirula exhibition daily, apart from public transportation.

Three vehicle parks have been set up with all facilities on a hundred acre land to provide parking facilities for these vehicles.

According to reports from the Deyata Kirula exhibition organization committee, most vehicles are passenger coaches arriving from various parts of the country.

A survey being conducted at the entrance of the exhibition premises reveals that around 350,000 visitors visit the Deyata Kirula exhibition daily.

"A special traffic plan will probably be implemented today and tomorrow to provide a hassle free transport service to visitors", Anudarhapura Superintendent of Police Mahesh Senarathne said.

"However, the new traffic plan will come into force only if required on the final days. Otherwise, the normal traffic plan which is in place on other days will be in operation," he said .

According to the special traffic plan, the Anuradhapura - Wilachchiya road will be used only for traffic moving towards the Deyata Kirula exhibition.

Vehicles from the Deyata Kirula exhibition site will have to use Oyamaduwa -Nochchiyagama road to reach Anuradhapura.

One way vehicular traffic movement will be allowed on both these roads during the final two days on February 11 and 12.

Police request motorists to abide by the traffic plan by following the traffic laws.
