The Story in Brief
The Delhi Traffic Police have issued a revised advisory ahead of the 'Janjati Saanskritik Samagam' at the Red Fort on Sunday, warning of major restrictions and diversions across central and north Delhi. Nearly one lakh people are expected to attend the event organised by the Janjati Jaagriti Samiti, which will include multiple 'Shobha Yatras' starting from Shyamgiri Mandir, Ramlila Maidan, Rajghat, Qudesia Park and Ajmeri Gate before converging at the Red Fort.
Commuters have been advised to avoid non-essential travel on affected routes due to the movement of large processions and gathering of participants on May 24. The police advisory comes as the capital braces for significant traffic disruptions around the historic venue.
The Indian Opinion
The capital's traffic police are adept at issuing last-minute advisories, yet the chaos that follows large events is a familiar pattern. While the 'Janjati Saanskritik Samagam' claims to celebrate cultural heritage, Delhi's commuters will be left navigating clogged arteries without real-time enforcement. The real test is not the notice itself but whether the police deploy enough personnel to man diversions and enforce the restrictions, something they routinely fail to do. Will the Shobha Yatras face the same lax oversight as Kanwar Yatra disruptions?
