Delhi Traffic Police has announced traffic restrictions and diversions on several major roads in central Delhi on Monday, August 5. The advisory has been issued to ensure smooth vehicular movement due to special circumstances in the area. The restrictions will be in place from 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM, affecting both carriageways and service lanes of key stretches.

According to the advisory, traffic will be restricted on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, Jawaharlal Nehru Marg, Rajghat Crossing, IP Marg, Delhi Gate, and surrounding service roads. Vehicles will not be allowed to pass through these routes during the restricted hours.

In addition to the movement restrictions, parking will also be prohibited on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, Jawaharlal Nehru Marg, Ring Road from Shanti Van to Rajghat, and both carriageways of IP Marg. Any vehicle found parked in these areas will be towed away, and legal action will be taken against the owners.

The police have urged commuters to avoid the affected roads during the advisory hours and use alternative routes. Motorists are also advised to cooperate with traffic personnel on duty and follow their instructions to ensure smooth traffic management.

These measures have been taken to avoid traffic congestion and maintain order in the city’s busy central areas. While the exact reason for the restrictions was not mentioned, it is likely due to an event or security protocol in the national capital.

Commuters heading towards central Delhi on August 5 are advised to plan their journey accordingly, leave early if necessary, and stay updated through official traffic updates. The Delhi Traffic Police has also reminded citizens that enforcement teams will be active in the area and strict action will be taken against any violations.
