New Delhi: Ahead of the Republic Day celebrations, the Delhi Police has issued a comprehensive traffic advisory, detailing road restrictions and diversions that will be implemented during the event.

According to Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) D.K. Gupta, significant traffic control measures will begin on the evening of Saturday, January 25, from 9:00 PM. Entry into the city’s borders will be restricted, with only essential vehicles allowed. These restrictions will remain in place until the conclusion of the Republic Day parade on Sunday.

Diversions will be enforced on roads leading to the parade route, which stretches from Vijay Chowk to the Red Fort. In particular, C-Hexagon will be closed for traffic after 9:15 PM on Saturday, and commuters are advised to avoid this area.

The Republic Day parade is scheduled to begin at 10:30 AM on Sunday, January 26. It will follow a route that includes Vijay Chowk, Kartavya Path, C-Hexagon, Tilak Marg, and Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, culminating at the Red Fort.

As part of security measures, Kartavya Path will be closed to vehicles from 5:00 PM on Saturday until the parade concludes. Additionally, cross-traffic on major roads like Rafi Marg, Janpath, and Man Singh Road will be restricted from 10:00 PM on Saturday.

C-Hexagon will also be closed to traffic between 9:15 AM and the completion of the parade’s passage along Tilak Marg on Sunday. Starting from 10:30 AM, no movement will be allowed on Tilak Marg, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, and Subhash Marg, with exceptions made for cross-traffic based on the parade’s progress.

Commuters are advised to plan their journeys in advance and avoid areas along the parade route, especially between 9:30 AM and 1:00 PM, to minimize inconvenience. While commuters from North Delhi heading to either New Delhi or Old Delhi Railway Station will not face specific restrictions, the police recommend allowing extra time for travel due to possible delays.

Metro services will continue to operate normally across all stations during the Republic Day celebrations.
