Navigating Road Diversions and Traffic Restrictions on Key Routes in the National Capital
The Delhi Traffic Police have issued a comprehensive advisory detailing stringent traffic regulations set to be enforced on March 26th, in anticipation of planned protests by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) against the recent arrest of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Key roads, including Tughlak Road, Safdarjung Road, and Kamal Ataturk Marg, will be closely monitored to ensure smooth traffic flow, with strict prohibitions on stopping or parking along these routes.
Key Points from the Traffic Advisory:
- No Stoppage or Parking: Vehicles are strictly prohibited from stopping or parking on designated roads, including Tughlak Road, Safdarjung Road, and Kamal Ataturk Marg, to facilitate uninterrupted traffic movement.
- Traffic Diversion: Traffic diversions will be implemented at critical junctions such as Aurobindo Chowk, Samrat Hotel Roundabout, and Teen Murti Haifa Roundabout, among others, to manage the flow of vehicles and minimize disruptions.
- Public Caution: Members of the public are strongly advised to avoid routes affected by the traffic regulations, including Kamal Ataturk Marg, Safdarjung Road, Akbar Road, and Teen Murti Marg, to prevent inconvenience and delays during their commute.
Background of the Protest:
AAP’s planned demonstration aims to encircle the Prime Minister’s residence on Lok Kalyan Marg, in protest against the ED’s actions towards Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was arrested in connection with a money laundering case related to the excise policy.
AAP’s Reaction and Public Sentiment:
Gopal Rai, AAP’s Delhi coordinator, expressed the party’s discontent over the situation, highlighting the national distress and anger sparked by Kejriwal’s arrest. Rai, alongside Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, announced plans for a joint movement against the arrest, following consultations with constituents of the I.N.D.I.A bloc.
