Traffic advisory in Delhi and Noida

In view of kanwar yatra, Gautam Buddha Nagar traffic police issued an advisory Monday to divert heavy vehicles, especially freight carriers, to different routes.

Officials said that the route diversion rules will apply from July 4 to 18.

A senior traffic police officer said, “The route diversions are mostly for heavy and light freight vehicles to ensure

free and safe movement of kanwariyas. However, if their number increases in Ghaziabad, then other vehicles will also be stopped and diverted to these routes.”

The Delhi Traffic Police has also issued traffic routes for kanwariyas entering the national capital from Tuesday, officers said.

Said the advisory, “Kanwariya movement is observed in smaller numbers in several locations all over Delhi. The Delhi Traffic Police has made elaborate arrangements to segregate the movement of kanwariyas and other road users and to minimise inconvenience to the general public…”

The advisory added, “Devotees and road users are advised to follow traffic rules and obey the directions of policemen on duty.”
