The Delhi Traffic Police has issued a comprehensive advisory to help residents navigate the expected congestion and route modifications.

Commuters Advisory: Plan Your Journey
Delhi Police strongly recommends that travelers avoid the affected routes during the procession hours. Those traveling to airports, railway stations, or important appointments should factor in additional travel time and consider alternative transportation options.
"We urge commuters to use the Delhi Metro services wherever possible as it remains the most reliable mode of transport during such large gatherings," stated a senior traffic police official.
