The Delhi Traffic Police has issued an urgent advisory, urging commuters to avoid the affected stretch and follow designated diversions to ease congestion.
According to officials, vehicles from Rani Jhansi Road are being rerouted via Barfkhana, while traffic from Barfkhana is diverted toward Pul Mithai and Idgah. Commuters from Veer Banda Bairagi Marg are advised to take Old Rohtak Road as an alternative.
The advisory lists the following alternate routes:
- Barfkhana
- Pul Mithai
- Idgah
- Old Rohtak Road
- Rani Jhansi Road
Traffic personnel have been deployed at key intersections to manage flow and assist motorists. Authorities have urged citizens to remain patient and adhere to traffic rules while navigating the diversions.
This incident highlights the recurring issue of urban waterlogging and its impact on mobility, especially during the monsoon season. Civic bodies are expected to review drainage infrastructure in the area to prevent future disruptions.
