Expect traffic snarls on Delhi borders at Noida due to Independence Day security drill, as part of which trucks have been stopped from entering the capital.
The traffic restrictions, routinely practised ahead of Independence Day celebrations every year, were announced by Gautam Budh Nagar traffic police, which bars the entry of commercial vehicles – heavy, medium and light.
The traffic police advisory asked the people to factor in these restrictions that may cause traffic congestion. According to the traffic police advisory, restrictions were in place from August 12 and remain in force till Wednesday and again will be imposed from Thursday night and will be in force till August 15 events are over in Delhi.
The comprehensive advisory said traffic restrictions will be in force and cited heightened security arrangements around the high-security zones like the Red Fort.
