Delhi protest: Traffic jams hit central Delhi

UAE travellers heading to Delhi for flights face an airport travel advisory due to a protest by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). The protest, which demands the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and opposes the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, has led to heightened security measures and traffic disruptions in the Indian capital.

Delhi Airport has urged passengers to allow extra time for their commute, with additional police personnel deployed and traffic diversions enforced. Several Delhi Metro stations, including the Supreme Court and Mandi House, have closed their entry and exit gates. Key road junctions in central Delhi, such as Mandi House, Jantar Mantar Road, and Janpath, are also affected by traffic diversions.

Passengers are advised to consider alternative transport options and check the latest service updates if using the metro.
