Traffic movement across key commercial and administrative corridors of New Delhi has been heavily regulated following strict security protocols, demonstrations, and special event arrangements. Road diversions and vehicular curbs have been enforced in areas surrounding Connaught Place, Jantar Mantar, Rajghat, and Vijay Ghat, directly impacting everyday commuters.
Section 163 Enforced Near Connaught Place and Jantar Mantar
To preserve law and order, authorities have invoked Section 163 across designated pockets adjoining Jantar Mantar and Connaught Place. The order prohibits unlawful gatherings and unsanctioned demonstrations in these central zones. Heavy police deployments have been positioned to manage crowds and ensure stability during public holidays and high-alert periods.
Road Closures Around Rajghat and Vijay Ghat
Key arterial stretches connecting Rajghat and Vijay Ghat have also experienced controlled access and temporary barricading. Traffic headed toward central transit corridors has been redirected toward outer bypasses, leading to slower vehicular movement along sections of ITO, Delhi Gate, and the Ring Road perimeter.
Traffic Advisory and Recommended Detours
Traffic authorities have urged motorists to review route restrictions before commencing their travel toward Lutyens' Delhi and the inner commercial ring. Commuters are encouraged to utilize public transit systems, particularly the Delhi Metro, to bypass congested intersections and avoid delays caused by checkpoint inspections and perimeter diversions.
