  "account": "Delhi Traffic Police have announced traffic restrictions from October 16 to October 20 due to Durga Puja celebrations in various parts of the Capital. The restrictions will affect routes such as Outer Ring Road, Lala Lajpat Rai Marg, Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg, and Khanpur-Delhi Flyover. These measures are necessary as the Puja pandals are located in residential colonies with limited road space and no visitor parking areas, leading to heavy footfall and congestion. The police have appealed to commuters to plan their journey in advance, use Delhi Metro services, and avoid parking difficulties. Drivers are advised against driving private vehicles into CR Park, parking on roads and footpaths, and using affected corridors unless necessary. The police will deploy 6,000 personnel and 2,000 protesters to ensure the smooth conduct of the festivities.",
  "summary": "The Delhi Traffic Police said in a post on X that the restrictions came into force on Friday (October 16), and will apply from 4 pm to 12 am daily.",
