Noida: The day is finally here when citizens are going to get a ride from the traffic, as Chief Minister Yogi Aditaye Nath is going to arrive to inaugurate several projects including Parthala Flyover in Noida and Greater Noida on Sunday. The authority has made strict security arrangements to ensure the safety and smooth visit of the CM. 3,000 police officers, including traffic officers and plainclothes intelligence agents, will be stationed at the locations where the CM is likely to appear.
Laxmi Singh, the commissioner of police for Gautam Budh Nagar, said, “While diversions will be in place throughout the day, certain main roads will experience temporary closures during VIP movements to minimize public inconvenience.”
She added, “The police have collaborated closely with the district administration and the Noida authority to implement robust security arrangements. Extensive police rehearsals and mock drills have been conducted to identify any potential loopholes in the security plan.”
The Parthala Flyover in Sector 121, the Advent underpass in Sector 137 and Vedvan Park in Sector 78 are all set to be inaugurated by CM Adityanath. He will also supervise the transfer of 55 police cars from the Noida government to the Gautam Budh Nagar police. Several routes in both cities will be entirely closed to traffic throughout the day in preparation for the event.
Additional assistance has been brought in from other districts, with senior police taking charge of security operations after full briefings. Six Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) companies and one Rapid Action Force (RAF) unit have also been deployed.

The Gautam Budh Nagar traffic police department has issued a traffic advisory outlining the precise routes that would be blocked to traffic. Starting at 6 a.m. in Noida and 11 a.m. in Greater Noida, these routes will be closed till one hour after the CM’s event concludes.
The advisory states, “The Noida Stadium area will witness complete closure, affecting routes such as the Sector 39 underpass leading to the Sector 12/22 crossing, the Sector 12/22/56 crossing en route to Rajnigandha crossing, and the Sector 31/25 crossing heading towards Sector 8/10/11/12.”
