Delhi traffic restrictions near CR Park, GK-II from Oct 16 to 20
Delhi Traffic Police have imposed restrictions in Chittaranjan Park (CR Park) and Greater Kailash-II from October 16 to 20 for Durga Puja celebrations. The curbs will be enforced daily from 4 pm to midnight.
Heavy traffic is expected on the Outer Ring Road between Vasant Vihar and Modi Mill Flyover, Lala Lajpat Rai Marg, August Kranti Marg, Mehrauli-Badarpur Road, Guru Ravidas Marg, Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg, Josip Broz Tito Marg, and internal roads around CR Park and Greater Kailash-II.
Police have advised devotees to use the Delhi Metro, alighting at Greater Kailash or Nehru Enclave stations. Commuters have been urged to start early, avoid affected roads, and not park or stop vehicles near pandals.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The restrictions target South Delhi areas where pandals sit inside narrow residential colonies with no visitor parking. Police acknowledge the infrastructure cannot handle the expected crowds and have outsourced the solution to the Metro. The advisory leaves unresolved how visitors who drive will be redirected or penalised. Enforcement depends on personnel deployed on the ground, and compliance will be tested during peak evening hours over the five-day festival.
