Commuters travelling across the national capital may experience traffic disruptions on Wednesday due to special security arrangements for an official function scheduled at Lok Niwas.
The Delhi Traffic Police has issued a detailed advisory warning motorists that the movement of dignitaries could affect traffic flow on several important roads between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
Authorities urged residents and travellers to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative routes to avoid inconvenience.
Traffic congestion and temporary restrictions are likely in parts of Central and North Delhi, especially near administrative areas.
According to the advisory, traffic police may restrict or divert movement on major roads, including ITO Chowk, Ring Road, Mall Road, Rajpur Road, Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Chauburja Marg, Bhiku Ram Jain Marg, Shamnath Marg, Boulevard Road, and Lok Niwas Marg.
Security arrangements and the movement of official convoys may slow traffic and cause brief stoppages in these areas.
Police may also divert vehicles at key intersections such as PS Civil Lines Red Light, Shamnath Marg Red Light, Tis Hazari Court Red Light, Khoya Mandi U-Turn, Khyber Pass Red Light, St Stephen's Red Light, Rajpur Authority Cut, and MCD Chowk. Traffic personnel will regulate movement and assist commuters.
Authorities also imposed restrictions on commercial vehicles.
According to the Delhi Traffic Police, commercial vehicles, including TSRs (auto-rickshaws), will not operate on Raj Niwas Marg between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to ensure smooth movement of official convoys.
The Delhi Traffic Police urged commuters to cooperate, avoid affected routes where possible, follow officials' directions, and refrain from roadside parking in restricted areas.
Authorities also advised the public to monitor traffic alerts and plan travel accordingly to avoid delays.
