Heads up if you're in Delhi during Chhath Puja (November 15-16): Traffic Police will roll out road diversions and restrictions, especially around East, North-East, and Shahdara districts.
Expect big crowds near Yamuna ghats and ponds for the festival rituals, so some usual routes like Pusta Road (Shastri Park to Khajuri Chowk) and Nanaksar T-Point to Sonia Vihar Toll Tax are best avoided.
Use Delhi-Dehradun Expressway or GT Road
If you need to get across town, try using the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway or GT Road instead.
Coming from Nanaksar T-Point? Take RTC Pusta Road via Khajuri Chowk as a detour.
And if you're driving, stick to official parking spots like Yamuna Khadar near DND or beside Khajuri Metro Station. This helps keep things moving smoothly for everyone.
Police hope changes ease Chhath Puja
Following these signs and using the right parking isn't just about avoiding traffic jams. It's also about keeping things safe for all the devotees out celebrating.
The police are hoping these changes make Chhath Puja easier for everyone in the city.
