New Delhi:
Elaborate arrangements have been made by Delhi Traffic Police to segregate the movement of 'kanwarias' and other commuters to ensure smooth 'Kanwar yatra' and vehicular movement.
A diversion plan has been prepared by the traffic police which will be enforced from today till August 1. No heavy transport vehicles except city buses will be allowed on GT Road towards Shahdara and Wazirabad Road, said Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Garima Bhatnagar.
Heavy commercial vehicles will be diverted from GT Karnal Road towards National Highway 24, from Loni Road (Shahdara) to Wazirabad Road, and Sonia Vihar and other internal roads to outer Ring Road, the officer said.
Due to diversion of vehicular traffic bound for Apsara Border and Maharajpur Border to Ghazipur by UP Police, there likely will be congestion on NH 24.
Heavy traffic congestion usually occurs on Rani Jhansi Road from Barafkhana Chowk to Fire Station, Boulevard Road and at Azad Market Chowk.
Heavy traffic congestion is also observed at Khajuri Chowk, Gokalpuri Flyover, 66 Foota Road, Maujpur Chowk, Babarpur 'T' Point, Bhajanpura Chowk, Keshav Chowk and Dharampura 'T' Point and Mathura Road.
Similar situation is experienced on NH 8 from Dhaula Kuan Metro Station up to Rajokari Border.
The main routes followed by the Kanwarias during the period include the border points Apsara, Bhopara, Maharajpur and Kalindi Kunj among others.
In addition to these important roads and intersections movement of Kanwarias is also observed in smaller numbers at several locations all over Delhi, she added.
