The Delhi Traffic Police has announced the temporary closure of a key section of the Grand Trunk (GT) Road due to the ongoing Kanwar Yatra. The closure will remain in effect until 8 am on July 23, affecting commuters heading towards ISBT and surrounding areas.

According to the advisory issued on Monday, the left carriageway from Keshav Chowk roundabout to Yudhishthir Setu (ISBT) has been closed to vehicular traffic from 8 am on July 21.

Delhi Police Advises These Alternate Routes

To avoid congestion, commuters heading towards ISBT via Swami Dayanand Marg have been urged to use the Keshav Chowk underpass to reach Maujpur or take a U-turn at Shyam Chowk to access ISBT via Swami Dayanand Marg, Vikas Marg, or the Master Plan Road.

Traffic from Seelampur T-Point should use Road No. 66 to reach Wazirabad Road, while those coming from Dharampura T-Point can either continue on Road No. 66 or divert through the Keshav Chowk underpass.

Vehicles approaching GT Road via the Old Iron Bridge are being diverted to Pusta Road via Kailash Nagar and Gandhi Nagar. Commuters from Shastri Park Pusta Road can merge onto GT Road at Shastri Park and proceed via Road No. 66 or the Keshav Chowk underpass.

In addition, traffic from Khajoori Chowk will be routed via Wazirabad Road to reach ISBT, easing pressure on the affected GT Road stretch.

Authorities have advised motorists to follow traffic updates and cooperate with diversions in place to ensure smooth flow during the Kanwar Yatra period.

The Kanwar Yatra is an annual Hindu pilgrimage during the Hindu month of Shravan, in which devotees of Lord Shiva, known as Kanwariyas, travel, often barefoot, to collect holy water from the Ganga River and carry it back to their local Shiva temples.
