Motorists advised to avoid Little India area on Feb 1; road closures to start on Jan 31
A new Thaipusam WhatsApp messaging channel and more entry points for devotees are among the latest measures rolled out for the annual holy festival on Feb 1.
This year, Thaipusam falls on a Sunday, and the authorities expect the turnout to be bigger than usual, said the Hindu Endowments Board, Sri Thendayuthapani Temple and Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple in a joint statement on Jan 19.
To manage the large crowds likely to gather along the procession route and at the temples involved in the festival, road closures and other measures will be rolled out, the statement added.
