Delhi Traffic Police has issued an advisory informing residents to avoid certain routes due to a special traffic arrangement for an official event at the Lieutenant Governor's residence.
The Delhi Traffic Police has released a traffic advisory for March 11, indicating that certain routes in North Delhi will be affected due to an official event at the Lok Niwas, the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor. The event is scheduled to take place from 11 AM to 4 PM, during which traffic may be considerably disrupted due to the movement of various dignitaries. The advisory serves to alert the public to anticipate delays and plan their commutes accordingly.
The affected routes include significant roadways such as ITO Chowk, Ring Road, Mall Road, Rajpur Road, Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Shamnath Marg, and Boulevard Road, along with surrounding areas. The traffic police have underscored the importance of this advisory, as the official residence is located in the Civil Lines area, which is typically a busy zone in the city. Residents are encouraged to seek alternative routes to avoid congestion during the specified hours of the event.
Additionally, the advisory notes that traffic diversions may be implemented at various intersections to manage the flow of vehicles effectively.

This proactive measure demonstrates the authorities' commitment to ensuring both the safety of attending dignitaries and the convenience of local commuters during the event.
