As India gears up for Narendra Modi’s third consecutive swearing-in as Prime Minister, Delhi traffic police urge the public to check their advisory for diversions on the big day.
The Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory for a significant event at Rashtrapati Bhavan starting at 7:15 pm. It includes details of road closures and alternative routes in the capital city.
From 2:00 pm to 11:00 pm today, authorities will enforce special traffic arrangements around Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Authorities advise commuters to stay away from certain routes, such as Parliament Street, Imtiyaz Khan Marg, Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Road, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Marg, and others.
Authorities will tow away vehicles parked along these routes, and DTC buses cannot operate near the Rashtrapati Bhavan during this period.
In an official release, the Delhi traffic police advised travelers to steer clear of these roads, cooperate, and use public transportation extensively. They also recommended careful planning and ample time allocation for those traveling to ISBTs, railway stations, or airports.
“The Delhi traffic police advised the general public to remain patient, follow traffic rules and discipline, obey instructions from traffic personnel at intersections, and stay informed,” the official release stated.
DCW Traffic Police Prashant Gautam briefed about the preparedness for Narendra Modi’s oath-taking day, stating, “Approximately 1100 police officials will be on duty today. We have fully briefed our traffic staff. Access to Rashtrapati Bhawan and the surrounding roads will undergo restriction.”
