Vehicular movement across several parts of the Capital, particularly central and south Delhi, is likely to remain affected on Wednesday as Delhi Police conducts a full-scale motorcade rehearsal for the second consecutive day to assess preparedness for the upcoming BRICS Summit-2026, scheduled at Bharat Mandapam on September 12 and 13.
More such preparedness exercises are expected in the run-up to the summit. The traffic police have shared the detailed advisory, including diversion points and alternate routes, on their social media handles to help commuters plan their travel. “The objective is to assess our preparedness for the BRICS Summit, identify potential challenges, and address them well in advance. We are also evaluating where restrictions may be needed and how to minimise inconvenience to the public.
officials from the ministry of external affairs (MEA) will also participate in Wednesday’s drill, said a senior police officer requesting anonymity While Tuesday’s rehearsal involved only Delhi Police personnel. Since it is a prestigious international event hosted by India, Delhi must leave a positive impression with seamless arrangements,” said Ajay Chaudhry, special commissioner of police (traffic). The Delhi Traffic Police has issued an advisory detailing traffic restrictions and diversions on multiple key corridors between 10am and 3pm on Wednesday.
