Commuters in West Delhi are advised to plan their journeys carefully this Sunday, November 1, as the Delhi Traffic Police has issued an advisory regarding a proposed padyatra. The procession, scheduled to take place from Hari Nagar DTC Depot to Tilak Nagar Metro Station, is expected to cause significant traffic disruptions on Jail Road.
Traffic movement along both carriageways of Jail Road, specifically between Lajwanti Chowk and Tilak Nagar, may be affected or temporarily closed between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM. The extent of these restrictions will depend on prevailing traffic conditions and the movement of participants.
Alternative Routes and Police Advice
Motorists traveling through the affected corridor are strongly urged to consider alternative routes to avoid delays. The Delhi Traffic Police has specifically suggested using Sewa Marg–Pankha Road or Mayapuri Road as viable detours, where applicable.
In addition to planning alternative routes, the advisory includes several key instructions for motorists:
- Avoid the affected routes if possible.
- Utilize public transportation, particularly the Delhi Metro, for journeys through the area.
- Refrain from roadside parking to keep carriageways clear for emergency vehicles.
- Follow all prescribed diversions and cooperate with traffic personnel deployed on the ground.
