Delhi to host 3 major processions today; expect traffic snarls
Heads up, Delhi: major processions are set to clog up central roads on September 3, 2025.
Between a big religious Shobha Yatra, a massive railway workers' rally, and the Chetna March, expect serious jams and detours.
Delhi Traffic Police are urging everyone to rethink their routes and travel plans.
Know about the processions
The Shobha Yatra kicks off at 1pm from Ramleela Maidan with around 1,500 people winding through Ajmeri Gate and Pul Paharganj.
Later, nearly 5,000 railway workers will rally from State Entry Road to Karnail Singh Stadium between 3pm and 6pm.
The Chetna March starts early at 10am from Gurudwara Majnu Ka Tilla to Sis Ganj Sahib—so Outer Ring Road and Mahatma Gandhi Marg will be packed.
What you need to know
Traffic cops will divert vehicles at busy spots; parking on procession routes is banned (they'll tow if you try).
If you're headed toward New Delhi Railway Station or Connaught Place, try alternate roads like Rani Jhansi or Panchkuian instead.
Authorities say public transport is your best bet today—For real-time updates, commuters can connect with Delhi Traffic Police through their website, helpline, WhatsApp, or social media handles.
