Residents of Delhi-NCR are advised to take note of significant road closures resulting from the ongoing Kanwar Yatra. Major routes between Ghaziabad and Delhi have been restricted, causing considerable inconvenience for commuters. The Ghaziabad Traffic Police had originally planned to implement traffic diversions starting Monday, July 29. However, due to the anticipated surge of Kanwar pilgrims, these measures were enacted earlier, beginning Friday evening. Although the weekend saw relatively less disruption, commuters are now facing significant challenges as the workweek begins.
In light of these closures, it is recommended that those traveling to Delhi explore alternative routes to avoid delays. Travellers should stay informed about updated diversion plans and consider using public transportation where possible to ease their journey.
