Traffic chaos looms in Delhi ahead of the Republic Day parade’s crucial rehearsal. The police advisory spells it out: skip these roads to dodge gridlock on Thursday.
Prime no-go zones cover Kartavya Path from Vijay Chowk to India Gate, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Road, and links to Supreme Court premises. Timings clamp down from 4:30 AM to 3 PM, with phased easing post-rehearsal.
Trucks and buses divert to service lanes on Ring Road; south Delhi traffic funnels via Aurobindo Marg. No-parking enforcement targets 50 spots, from Teen Murti to Pragati Maidan.
Why the clampdown? The rehearsal mirrors the January 26 spectacle—army bands, missile carriers, and state floats rehearsing precision moves under tight security.
Tech-savvy commuters can tap into WhatsApp alerts and GPS integrations for live intel. Pedestrians note footpath closures near venues.
This annual ritual tests the city’s resilience, rewarding planners with smoother sails. Embrace the advisory, prioritize safety, and gear up for the big day celebrations.
