In preparation for the upcoming G20 Summit scheduled for September 9 and 10 in the national Capital, the Gurugram Traffic Police issued a comprehensive traffic advisory on Friday. The advisory comes as foreign delegates are set to be accommodated in select hotels within Gurugram, leading to temporary restrictions on vehicular movement in the region.
The advisory noted that from 12 am (September 7) to 11.59 pm (September 10), heavy vehicles including roadways buses of Haryana and Rajasthan will not be allowed to enter Delhi from Sarhaul toll on the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway and Kapashera border.
The heavy vehicles will be diverted from IFFCO Chowk via Mehrauli-Gurugram Road towards Delhi. However, “essential vehicles” will be operational as usual.
In addition, multinational companies in Gurugram have been advised to implement work-from-home policies on September 8.
The traffic restrictions will primarily affect the Dhaula Kuan route, where buses and private vehicles will be denied entry into Delhi during this period.
This restriction will be especially enforced when foreign delegates are traveling along this route.
To ensure a smooth flow of traffic, the police have devised a traffic diversion plan.
In case the air travellers opt to use the road, they should move out, keeping extra time in hand, he said.
Leela Ambience hotel on the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway and Trident hotel in Udyog Vihar are proposed accommodations for various foreign guests, including officials.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Virendra Vij, explained that the delegates will begin arriving at Delhi Airport from September 8 and some will be staying in Gurugram hotels, including Hotel Leela and Hotel Trident.
As a result, vehicle movement along this route will be restricted.
“A route diversion plan has been implemented for vehicles, so that commuters don’t face issues while travelling on the particular dates,” said DCP Virendra Vij.
