To help a continuous passage of the Republic Day parade and traffic movement on certain roads leading to the route of the procession and tableaux, the Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory on Sunday for commuters to help avoid the traffic-restricted paths.
The Delhi Police have made elaborate security and traffic arrangements for the January 26 celebrations and constraints on some roads, especially around the national parade route at Rajpath, will come into effect from Monday evening.
Traffic around Delhi borders remained heavy because of the ongoing farmers’ protest and intensified checking of vehicles entering the national capital because of the Republic Day celebration’s security arrangements.
According to the advisory, on January 26, the parade will start at 9.50 am from Vijay Chowk and proceed to National Stadium. However, the tableaux will start from Vijay Chowk and proceed to Red Fort Ground. “There will be wreath-laying function at National War Memorial at 09.00 am,” it stated.
PARADE AND TABLEAUX
The parade will start from Vijay Chowk and pass through Rajpath, Amar Jawan Jyoti, India Gate, Princess Palace roundabout, Tilak Marg and Radial Road, and then turn right on “C” Hexagon, turn left again and enter the National Stadium from gate number 1, the advisory said. The tableaux will start from Vijay Chowk and go towards Red Fort via Rajpath, Amar Jawan Jyoti, India Gate, Princess Palace roundabout, Tilak Marg, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg and Netaji Subhash Marg, it said.
DELHI BORDERS
While borders like Singhu, Auchandi, Mangesh, and Tikri have remained closed for the last two months due to the presence of thousands of farmers protesting against the three contentious farm laws, the Ghazipur-Ghaziabad (UP Gate) and Chilla (Delhi-Noida link road) are partially open only for traffic moving towards Ghaziabad and Noida. As the protesting farmers have occupied the carriageways going towards Delhi at these two borders, motorists are using alternate border points such as Anand Vihar, Apsara, Bhopra, Loni, Kondli, Dallupura, DND, New Ashok Nagar, and Kalindi Kunj to enter Delhi from Uttar Pradesh.
Since no vehicle is allowed through Singhu, Auchandi, Tikri and Mangesh borders, the Delhi Traffic Police have diverted the traffic between Delhi and Haryana through Lampur, Safiabad, Piau Maniyari, Singhu School and Palla toll tax borders. The other borders between Delhi and Haryana are open, but traffic is slow because the police have been checking vehicles entering Delhi ahead of the Republic Day celebrations.
ROADS
The police said no traffic would be allowed on Vijay Chowk from 6.00 pm on January 25 till the parade is over, whereas Rajpath is already forbidden. “No cross traffic will be allowed on Rajpath intersections from 11.00 pm on Janpath, Man Singh Road till Parade is over. ‘C’-Hexagon-India Gate will be closed for traffic from 05.00 am on January 26 till tableaux cross Tilak Marg. From 04.00 am on January 26 Traffic on Tilak Marg, BSZ Marg and Subhash Marg will not be allowed in both carriageways. Cross-traffic will only be allowed depending upon the movement of the tableaux,” it stated.
Delhi traffic police requested road users to accordingly plan their journies and avoid the parade and tableaux route, from 4 am to 12:30 pm for their convenience.
ALTERNATE ROUTES
The traffic advisory suggested alternate routes which motorists can follow as a north-south corridor that includes Ring Road, Ashram Chowk, Sarai Kale Khan, IP Flyover and Rajghat.
Commuters can take the route from Madarsa, Lodhi Road T-point via Aurobindo Marg, AIIMS Chowk, Ring Road-Dhaula Kaun Vande Matram Marg, Shankar Road and Sheikh Mujbur Rahman road for going to Mandir Marg. There is also the east and the west corridors for motorists who have been suggested to take Ring Road via Bhairon Road at Mathura Road and Lodhi Road.
Commuters who want to go towards AIIMS Chowk can take the Ring Road-Dhaula Kaun via Mandir Marg and go towards Ring Road-ISBT, motorists can take Chadgi Ram Akhara and Mall road via Azadpur. Commuters going to the New Delhi Railway Station from south Delhi can go through Dhaula Kuan, Vande Matram Marg, Panchkuian Road, Connaught Place outer circle, Chelmsford Road for Paharganj side or Minto Road and Bhavbhuti Marg for Ajmeri Gate side.
