Traffic flow may experience disruptions in various parts of the national capital on Tuesday due to the Hanuman Jayanti celebration, as per police advisories.
Route diversions are planned near Hanuman temples in Kashmere Gate and Connaught Place, where thousands are anticipated to join the ‘Sunderkand Paath’ organised by the Marghat Wale Baba Hanuman Mandir Samiti at the Kashmere Gate temple from 5 pm.
To facilitate smoother vehicular movement during the event, traffic will be diverted from specific points, and commuters are urged to utilise public transport to alleviate road congestion.
Additionally, security measures have been intensified across Delhi, particularly in areas hosting shobha yatras, to ensure safety during the festivities.
During the day, a gathering of around 50,000 to 60,000 devotees is expected at the temple, the police said.
Beside this, a shobha yatra will also be taken out in the area from 3 pm to 6 pm in which 1,000-1,500 people along with seven chariots will be participating, likely affecting the traffic movement on surrounding roads, they said.
To ensure smooth traffic flow in the temple’s vicinity, no vehicle will be allowed to halt or park anywhere on the Baba Kharak Singh Marg and Outer Circle, Connaught Place, the advisory said.
The vehicles found parked on these roads will be towed away and prosecuted as per law, the traffic police warned.
Traffic will be diverted from Outer Circle, Baba Kharak Singh Marg, roundabout GPO, roundabout Patel Chowk, and roundabout Windsor Place, the advisory said.
People who are going towards ISBT, railway stations or airports are advised to plan their travel in advance, it added.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police beefed up security and paramilitary forces were deployed in Jahangirpuri on Tuesday to keep vigil during the shobha yatra to be taken out on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, officials said.
The police have also intensified security arrangements across the national capital, particularly areas where shobha yatras will be taken out.
