Around 18,000 people have registered for Saturday’s Freedom Habba, Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) said Thursday. To ensure safety and crowd management, only those with pre-booked registrations and QR-code access will be allowed entry.
GBA officials confirmed no on-the-spot or late registrations will be permitted; every participant must pre-register to gain access to the habba. Entry will be free only for those below 12 years of age.
The habba, scheduled from 12pm to 10pm, has been divided into three segments. The first, from 12pm to 3pm, will feature stalls and other activities. The second, from 3pm to 5pm, will be dedicated to the parade, while the final segment, from 5pm to 10pm, will include live concerts, stage programmes and a fireworks display.
Officials said participants registered for a particular segment will be allowed entry only during that segment to ensure smooth crowd management and enable wider public participation.
