10 diversions, 11 roads affected: Delhi Traffic Police issue advisory for commuters amid INDIA bloc's Ramlila Maidan rally
Nearly 350 traffic personnel and more than 100 home guards will remain deployed on roads leading to the venue from central and New Delhi areas.
Delhi Traffic Police have issued an advisory for commuters due to expected disruptions on at least 11 roads in central Delhi and surrounding areas on Sunday. This is in preparation for the "Chalo Dilli" rally organized by the Congress-led INDIA bloc at Ramlila Maidan. The rally is against alleged irregularities in the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demands the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Authorities have deployed over 3,000 Delhi Police personnel and several anti-riot equipped paramilitary forces for the event. Ten diversion points have been set up between 10am and 5pm, including Netaji Subhash Marg T-Point, Rajghat, and ITO A-Point. The 11 affected road stretches include Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, Jawaharlal Nehru Marg, Aruna Asaf Ali Road, Minto Road-Kamla Market Roundabout-Hamdard Chowk, Ranjit Singh Flyover to Turkman Gate, DBG Road, W-Point, Barakhamba Road, Kasturba Gandhi Marg-Firozshah Road, Chelmsford Road, and Minto Road.
Traffic on four stretches around Ramlila Maidan will be regulated, with Delhi Transport Corporation movement restricted. Passengers traveling to New Delhi railway station are advised to use Chelmsford Road, Outer Circle of Connaught Place, Minto Road, and Bhavbhuti Marg. The police urge the public to use public transport and report any suspicious activity.
