Traffic restrictions due to R-Day rehearsal in Delhi lead to woes for commuters

Vehicular movement was severely hit in Central Delhi on Tuesday due to the Republic Day parade rehearsals leaving hundreds of commuters stranded on the road.

Routes leading to Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg near the ITO, arterial roads of the Ring Road, between Ashram and IP Estate flyover, Man Singh Road, Rafi Marg, Janpath Road, Shahjahan Road, Akbar Road, Ashoka Road and other routes around the Kartavya Path were severely hit.

Posting a picture of the heavy traffic near Kartavya Path, a user on X said, “Is it too much to ask @dtptraffic to manage traffic? The entire central Delhi is choked.”

Some users reported that they were late for work or didn’t want to go to work due to Delhi roads being jam-packed.

“Don’t feel like going out for work. The traffic in Delhi is horrible,” another user on X said.

Motorists blamed traffic personnel for not regulating traffic properly and said that there was no proper information about the traffic diversions.
