Guns N’ Roses Guwahati Concert: Traffic restrictions, no-parking zones announced for November 17

With American rock band Guns N’ Roses set to perform in Guwahati on November 17, the city’s traffic police have announced a series of traffic restrictions and parking regulations to manage the expected rush of concertgoers.

The concert, featuring iconic musicians Axl Rose and Slash, will be held at the Veterinary College Playground in Khanapara. The Assam Tourism Department is expecting a turnout higher than that witnessed during American rapper Post Malone’s performance in Guwahati last year.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) said the restrictions have been put in place to ensure public safety, particularly for children, students, senior citizens and persons with disabilities. The measures are also aimed at facilitating the uninterrupted movement of emergency vehicles, including ambulances and fire tenders, as well as school buses.
