MG Road.
MG Road or Mahatma Gandhi Road also known as MG Marg ( Marg: meaning avenue, path or street) has gained its title after an enormous bronze statue of Mahatma Gandhi was installed at the main center of
the avenue. The entire section covering 1km is an exclusive pedestrian range and vehicle of any kind is not allowed to enter or pass through the MG Road.
Interestingly, it is the country's first "spit litter and smoking free zone". Thus, the tourists can eat, shop and relax at its own pace without any traffic congestion or any form of pollution. The Marg looks well-lit
with the Victorian lamps and benches adding to the ease of the travelers to sit and enjoy the gaiety and serene atmosphere of the place. A shopper's paradise, a foodie's delight to a healthy breakfast and an
evening well decked, MG Marg has got to offer many!
