The Delhi Traffic Police has announced traffic restrictions ahead of the Sri Krishna Janmashtami celebrations at the ISKCON Temple in East of Kailash. The main celebrations are scheduled for Friday, September 4, and a heavy influx of devotees is expected. Commuters travelling through south Delhi have been advised to plan their journeys in advance and avoid roads surrounding the temple during busy hours.
Which Roads Should Commuters Avoid?
The traffic police has advised motorists to stay away from the ISKCON Temple, East of Kailash, Sant Nagar Road, Captain Gaur Marg, Outer Ring Road and Nehru Place, along with adjoining stretches. A section of Raja Dheer Sen Marg will remain closed from 6 am on Wednesday until the conclusion of the Janmashtami celebrations on September 5. Traffic movement will also be restricted to a single carriageway between Captain Gaur Marg T-Point and Sant Nagar T-Point.
What Has Delhi Traffic Police Advised?
People have been asked to avoid unnecessary journeys towards the ISKCON Temple, particularly during peak hours. Motorists travelling through the affected areas should follow directions issued by traffic personnel and local authorities. The police has also warned commuters against parking along roadsides or at unauthorised locations, which could further obstruct traffic movement.
Use Public Transport To Avoid Congestion
The Delhi Traffic Police has urged commuters to make travel plans beforehand and use alternative routes wherever possible. Public transport has also been recommended to reduce the number of private vehicles on roads around the temple. For live traffic information and further updates, commuters can follow the Delhi Traffic Police’s official social media channels.
Delhi Weather During Janmashtami Week
Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast generally cloudy conditions with a possibility of light rain in Delhi during the first week of September. The weather conditions could also affect traffic movement, particularly in areas already expected to experience heavy footfall.
