Airport, Railway Routes Opened

There are no major restrictions on routes to Indira Gandhi International Airport or major railway stations. However, commuters are advised to start early to avoid delays. For airport-bound travelers, NH-48 and the Sector-22 Dwarka Tunnel are suggested. Railway passengers heading to New Delhi, Old Delhi, or Hazrat Nizamuddin stations should use the Ring Road, Ashram Chowk, and Vande Mataram Marg corridors.

Peripheral Expressways Ease City Congestion

Non-Delhi-bound vehicles will be diverted to the Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways to reduce congestion. Officials have strongly recommended the use of public transport, particularly the Delhi Metro, which will operate normally. The nearest convenient metro station for the summit is Gate 10, Pragati Maidan. Parking arrangements for private vehicles have been designated at Delhi Zoo, National Stadium, and JLN Stadium, with shuttle services provided to the summit venues.

Public Transport Recommended For Summit

Telecom operators have been directed to optimise network connectivity around Bharat Mandapam for uninterrupted mobile data services. With Class 10 board exams scheduled on February 17 at ten schools along the VIP route, the traffic police have deployed special nodal officers to ensure students reach exam centres without issues.
