Delhi-NCR Traffic Advisory: Routes Affected Due to INDIA Bloc March to Election Commission
Delhi-NCR commuters are advised to take precautions as there will be a march conducted by the INDIA Bloc that will head towards the Election Commission of India (ECI). Several prominent opposition leaders and workers from different political parties are expected to participate in the march, making it important to arrange additional police protection.
In order to ensure law and order, Delhi Police have released a Delhi-NCR Traffic Advisory cautioning about the likelihood of traffic on roads leading to ECI. Travellers coming to work, airport or railway stations must take early departures and must look out for alternative routes wherever possible.
Which Areas Are Likely to Be Affected?
From the traffic advice, there are going to be traffic jams in central Delhi, especially in the vicinity of the Election Commission of India and other government districts. Traffic congestion could occur on roads leading to ITO, Mandi House, Tilak Marg, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, Feroz Shah Road, Janpath, and Ashoka Road because of police barricades and protests.
Drivers heading to Connaught Place, India Gate, and Supreme Court could also face traffic jams.
Why is the March Being Held?
Leaders from the INDIA Bloc are heading for the Election Commission in protest over electoral matters that need immediate attention before the coming elections. This agitation is likely to witness participation by leaders of several opposition parties, resulting in increased security measures being taken in the national capital.
Advice for Commuters
According to the Delhi-NCR Traffic Advisory, the Delhi Metro should be used wherever possible since the traffic may be uncertain while the protests continue. If you are heading to your office, college, airport, or railway station, then extra traveling time should be considered since updates will be issued by the Delhi Traffic Police.
