Heavy crowds are expected at Yamuna ghats and other Chhath ghats. Commuters are advised to avoid roads near the ghats and use alternate routes. Restrictions apply on several major roads, including Shastri Park to Khajuri Chowk, Nanaksar T-Point to Sonia Vihar toll tax, and Shantivan to the crematorium. Parking has been arranged at designated sites near DND Yamuna Khadar, West Vinod Nagar, Khajuri metro station, Nanaksar Gurudwara, and others. Police have urged people not to park on roadsides or at restricted spots. The festival began on 13 November. Kharna is on 14 November, when devotees observe a day-long fast and worship in the evening. Sandhya arghya will be offered on 15 November, and the morning arghya on 16 November. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The advisory affects key arterial roads in east, north-east Delhi and Shahdara for two days, disrupting regular commuters and residents near the ghats. Police have provided alternate routes and designated parking, but congestion is likely in these areas. The measures coincide with the final two days of the festival, when the largest gatherings occur. No estimate of expected crowd size or enforcement penalties has been released. ## Coverage - tv9hindi.com Straight traffic advisory report with no government framing or commentary This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
