Traffic Management for Ipoh Thaipusam Celebration

Traffic diversions and road closures will be implemented in Ipoh from 6pm tomorrow until February 7 to accommodate the Thaipusam celebration. These measures are specifically in place to facilitate the movement of Kavadi bearers and chariot processions through the city.
Road Closures and Diversions

The initial phase of traffic management will begin tomorrow evening at 6pm and extend until 12:30am on Saturday. This period covers the chariot procession originating from the Sri Maha Mariamman temple and proceeding to the Sri Subramaniar temple. A subsequent phase will manage the return journey of the chariot to the Sri Maha Mariamman temple, commencing on January 6 at 4:30pm and concluding on Tuesday at 10:30am.
Key Routes Affected

Several major routes within Ipoh will be subject to these traffic alterations. These include Jalan Sungai Pari, Jalan Tun Perak, Jalan Lahat, Jalan Sultan Yusoff, Jalan Sultan Iskandar, Jalan Sultan Idris Shah, Jalan Laxamana, Jalan Raja Musa Aziz, Jalan Raja Ekram, Jalan Dato’ Onn Jaafar, Jalan Dato’ Ahmad Said, the hospital roundabout, and Jalan Perhentian.
Sunday's Procession Schedule

A significant portion of the traffic management on Sunday is dedicated to the Kavadi bearers' journey. They will travel from the Sri Maha Mariamman temple in Jalan Sungai Pari, Buntong, through the city centre, en route to the Sri Subramaniar temple in Gunung Cheroh, Jalan Raja Musa Aziz. This procession is scheduled to take place from 6am until midnight on Sunday.
