Depending upon the number of people participating in the “Bharat Bachao” rally, there can be diversions on bus routes too, the traffic advisory said.
Party workers from across the country are participating in this rally, which is being organised to highlight several issues including "sluggish economy, rising unemployment, and farmers' problems."
The rally of the Congress party was earlier scheduled to be held on November 30 but was later postponed to December 14 in view of the Winter Session of the Parliament, which concluded on Friday.
