21 roads around Delhi's CP, including Sansad Marg, Janpath, likely to face traffic snarls today

The Delhi Traffic Police have warned that the proposed gathering by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) at Central Park in Connaught Place on October 16, 2026, could disrupt traffic movement in and around the area from 3 p.m. onwards. Security personnel were seen attempting to stop members of the All India Students Federation during the Tiranga March at Connaught Place on Thursday.

The Central Park in Connaught Place will remain closed to the public on October 16 and 17 for "administrative reasons" by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC). Commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly, allowing sufficient travel time and using public transport where possible. Traffic diversions may be implemented based on the situation.

The Delhi Police have already imposed a prohibitory order under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) in Connaught Place and surrounding areas, urging protesters not to violate the order.
