Special traffic arrangements and diversions will be implemented at sensitive points such as ITO, Rajghat, ISBT, Tis Hazari and Mori Gate depending on the situation.

Traffic heading towards Tis Hazari and Shastri Park will also be rerouted accordingly. Special arrangements have been made for vehicles moving through MCD Chowk, Yamuna Marg and Shamnath Marg.
