Avoid these roads

NH-24

Don’t use NH-24 in any case as there is a massive diversion leading to a jam. If you want to travel to Uttar Pradesh from Delhi, use DND or Kalindi Kunj route to enter the NCR.

Ashram Chowk

As traffic has been diverted to DND, it is expected that there will be a jam-like situation there. Motorists traveling from Noida can use other routes like Kalindi Kunj to enter South Delhi.

Routes to North-east Delhi

As expected, farmers are trying to enter from the Ghaziabad border which connects North East Delhi's Seelampur, Shahdara area. It is advised not to travel to the north-east Delhi area.

Use metro

Delhi Traffic police have advised people to use the metro train to travel to and from other states. Also travelling by Delhi metro would be less time-consuming due to various diversions imposed by Delhi traffic police.
