Police warn of regulated traffic on Bundh Road, Wazirabad Road, Vikas Marg and parts of IP Estate between 2 pm on November 15 and 8 am on November 16
Delhi Traffic Police has issued an advisory ahead of Chhath Puja, cautioning commuters about possible traffic restrictions on roads leading to Yamuna ghats across the city on November 15 and 16.
A large number of devotees are expected to visit riverfront locations to offer prayers during the festival. The ghats likely to witness significant footfall include Ram Ghat, Soor Ghat and Bajrangi Ghat in the Wazirabad area, Vasudev Ghat near ISBT and Hathi Ghat in IP Estate.
The traffic impact is expected from 2 pm on November 15 until 8 am the following day. Roads and stretches likely to be affected include Bundh Road, Wazirabad Road, Vikas Marg, parts of IP Estate and approach roads to the Yamuna ghats.
Police said traffic movement on roads adjoining the ghats would be regulated as required, depending on the movement of devotees and prevailing road conditions.
The arrangements are intended to ensure the safety of worshippers, maintain smooth traffic flow and reduce inconvenience to commuters. Motorists have been advised to plan their journeys accordingly and remain alert for traffic personnel and on-ground diversions.
In neighbouring Ghaziabad, traffic police have also announced diversions for November 15 and 16. Heavy vehicles will be barred from entering city limits during the festival period, with restrictions beginning at noon on Sunday and continuing until the celebrations conclude on Monday.
Officials said Chhath Puja will be observed at around 79 locations in Ghaziabad, including major sites along the Hindon and Yamuna rivers and the Upper Ganga Canal.
