Delhi: Traffic curbs on Jan 17, 19, 20, 21 for Republic Day rehearsals

Traffic movement will be restricted at several key crossings in Delhi on January 17, 19, 20 and 21 due to rehearsals for the Republic Day parade along Kartavya Path, police said on Friday. According to an advisory, the rehearsals will be held from Vijay Chowk to India Gate, with the parade route extending up to the C-Hexagon. To ensure the uninterrupted movement of the parade, restrictions will be in place from 10.15 am to 12.30 pm on all four days. During this period, traffic crossings at Kartavya Path at Rafi Marg, Janpath, Man Singh Road and the C-Hexagon will remain closed. Kartavya Path from Vijay Chowk to India Gate will also remain closed for general traffic, leading to diversions and likely congestion on adjoining stretches. Motorists have been advised to plan their journeys, exercise patience and follow traffic rules and directions of personnel deployed on duty. For north-south movement and vice versa, commuters may use the Ring Road via Sarai Kale Khan and the I.P. Flyov
