Delhi Diwali traffic: Cops issue advisories, highlight key trouble zones
As Delhi gears up for Diwali, traffic disruptions are occurring in many parts of the city.
With crowds out shopping and more vehicles on the road, the Delhi Traffic Police are urging everyone to avoid major congestion spots, plan routes ahead, and use navigation apps to dodge the worst jams.
Key trouble zones and diversions
Key trouble zones include a massive pothole at Bhera Enclave Chowk, a vehicle breakdown on Mathura Road near NFC Red Light.
Police have set up diversions—like rerouting traffic from Vikaspuri through Peeragarhi underpass and from Jwala Heri toward GH-14—to help ease the gridlock.
Extra cops deployed to manage traffic
All traffic cops are on duty, with extra teams and motorcycle units out to manage the rush.
Illegally parked cars are being towed or fined on the spot.
Special focus is on busy markets like Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, and Connaught Place, which are expected to be packed.
Tips for a smoother ride
If you're heading out this Diwali week, knowing where the jams and diversions are could save you hours.
Keeping an eye on police updates and following advisories can make your festive plans a lot smoother.
