The Delhi Traffic Police has issued a traffic advisory ahead of a Janmashtami Shobha Yatra scheduled for Tuesday, September 1, in the national capital.
Commuters may face congestion and slow vehicular movement during the procession. The Delhi Traffic Police has also asked commuters to plan their journeys in advance, follow the directions of traffic personnel deployed along the routes and adhere to traffic signage. The police appealed to the public to cooperate with traffic management arrangements to ensure the safety of devotees and road users during the Shobha Yatra. The Delhi Traffic Police has advised commuters to avoid unnecessary travel through the affected routes and allow extra time for their journeys. Commuters have been asked to use public transport, particularly the Metro, during the rehearsal period and follow diversion routes and instructions issued by traffic personnel.
The traffic police has advised road users to avoid DBG Road and Ajmal Khan Road between 1 pm and 7 pm. Movement on DBG Road, Ajmal Khan Road and adjoining areas is likely to be affected due to the heavy influx of devotees, according to the traffic police.
Emergency and essential service vehicles will be provided priority passage, the traffic police said.
