R-Day rehearsal traffic advisory

Thursday, 23 January 2025 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi

The Delhi Police has issued a traffic advisory, cautioning commuters that vehicular movement in the central part of the city will be affected on Thursday due to the full dress rehearsal for the Republic Day parade. Commuters are advised to plan their travel accordingly.

The rehearsal will follow the same route as the Republic Day parade, according to the Delhi Police advisory.

The parade rehearsal will start at 10:30 am from Vijay Chowk and proceed to Red Fort via Kartavyapath, C-Hexagon, the roundabout at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Tilak Marg, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, and Netaji Subhash Marg. Elaborate traffic arrangements and restrictions will be in place along the route for the smooth conduct of the parade, the advisory stated.

To ensure the parade's smooth passage, traffic movement will be restricted on certain roads leading to the parade route.

No traffic will be allowed on Kartavyapath from Vijay Chowk to India Gate from 6 pm on Wednesday until the rehearsal ends on Thursday. Additionally, there will be no cross-traffic on Kartavyapath at Rafi Marg, Janpath, and Man Singh Road from 11 pm on Wednesday until the parade concludes. C-Hexagon-India Gate will be closed to traffic from 9:15 am on Thursday until the parade passes Tilak Marg.

From 10:30 am on Thursday, traffic in both directions will be restricted on Tilak Marg, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, and Netaji Subhash Marg. Cross traffic will be allowed only depending on the movement of the parade. Commuters are requested to avoid the parade route from 9:30 am to 1 pm and plan their journeys accordingly. Metro services will remain available at all stations during the rehearsal.

Although there will be no restrictions for those traveling from north Delhi to New Delhi Railway Station or Old Delhi, commuters are advised to plan their journey in advance and allocate extra time to avoid delays. The movement of city buses will be curtailed at Park Street/Udyan Marg, Aram Bagh Road (Paharganj), Kamla Market roundabout, Delhi Secretariat (IG Stadium), Pragati Maidan (Bhairon Road), Hanuman Mandir (Yamuna Bazar), Mori Gate, ISBT-Kashmiri Gate, ISBT-Sarai Kale Khan, and Tis Hazari Court.

Buses from Ghaziabad bound for Shivaji Stadium will take National Highway-24, Ring Road, and terminate at Bhairon Road. Buses coming from National Highway-24 will turn right onto Road No. 56 and terminate at ISBT-Anand Vihar.
