Delhi traffic advisory today: 20 roads around Connaught Place restricted from 3 PM for CJP's Tiranga march
The NDMC announced that Central Park in Connaught Place will remain closed to the public on October 16 and 17, citing “administrative reasons”.
Delhi traffic authorities have issued an advisory warning of possible disruptions in and around the city's iconic Connaught Place starting at 3 PM on Friday. This comes ahead of a proposed march and gathering by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) at Central Park, using the Tiranga (national flag) as a symbol. The Delhi Traffic Police have listed 20 roads and stretches that will be restricted or diverted, including prominent avenues such as Sansad Marg, Panchkuian Road, and Barakhamba Road.
Commuters are urged to plan their journeys in advance, allowing extra travel time, and to utilize public transport to avoid congestion. The Delhi Police have also beefed up security in the area, citing a prohibitory order under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) to prevent large public gatherings. While the CJP has announced the march starting at 5 PM, the Delhi Traffic Police stress that route diversions may change throughout the afternoon based on ground conditions.
They advise citizens to follow official updates via their social media accounts and obey the directions of deployed traffic personnel.
