Delhi Traffic Advisory Issued Ahead of Janmashtami as NH-44 Faces Congestion Risk
Delhi Police has issued a Janmashtami traffic advisory as devotees head to Khatu Shyam Delhi Dham Temple in Narela. NH-44 traffic may be affected between Singhu Border and Mukarba Chowk.
The advisory will remain in effect from 7 am on September 4, 2026, to 1 am on September 5. During this period, traffic is expected to be affected on the NH-44 stretch between Singhu Border and Mukarba Chowk.
Commuters have been advised to avoid the stretch as far as possible. Motorists can instead use UER-II and Palla-Bakhtawarpur Road to reach their destinations.
Depending on the traffic situation, diversions may be put in place at Singhu Border, Bakoli on UER-II and Mukarba Chowk. Traffic personnel will be deployed at these points to manage vehicles and guide commuters towards alternative routes.
The Traffic Police has asked people not to park their vehicles on roadsides, as illegal or obstructive parking could further increase congestion. Commuters travelling through the area have been advised to plan their journeys in advance, follow diversion signs and cooperate with traffic personnel.
Special arrangements will be made to ensure that emergency vehicles get uninterrupted passage while responding to emergencies. Bypass routes will be used wherever possible.
With thousands of devotees expected to gather for prayers and Janmashtami celebrations, authorities are making arrangements to manage both the religious gathering and regular traffic movement.
The Delhi Traffic Police has urged commuters and devotees to remain patient, follow official instructions and choose alternative routes wherever possible. Updates will be available through the Delhi Traffic Police website, social media handles, WhatsApp service and traffic helplines.
