Don't read too much into these warnings. This is the typical cautionary
steps
police take when they expect events like this to unfold. However, having a
conference
inside a college is not exactly like people gathering in a market etc, so as
long as the college authorities are OK, we should go ahead and continue
as if nothing changed.

But it might be good if we find out about transport situation on the day.
Talking to the police authorities on this will help. I would think that
BMTC will continue to ply its buses, but auto traffic might get affected.
