Delhi Police have issued a traffic advisory ahead of the Delhi Chief Minister's oath-taking ceremony on February 20, 2025, at Ramlila Ground. The event is expected to draw a massive crowd, including several VVIPs and VIPs, requiring the Delhi Police to implement traffic management measures to ensure smooth movement in the city. To manage the heavy traffic during the swearing-in ceremony, certain roads in and around central Delhi will face restrictions and diversions.

Traffic Restrictions: Routes to Avoid

The Delhi Traffic Police have announced that traffic restrictions will be in effect from 7 AM to 4 PM on February 20, particularly around the Ramlila Ground area. The following key routes are advised to be avoided:

• Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg (from ITO to Delhi Gate)
• Jawaharlal Nehru Marg (from Delhi Gate to Guru Nanak Chowk)
• Aruna Asaf Ali Road
• Minto Road (from roundabout Kamla Market to Hamdard Chowk)
• Ranjeet Singh Flyover to Turkman Gate
• Ajmeri Gate to roundabout Kamla Market

These routes will be heavily affected by the ceremony, with expected traffic congestion due to the influx of attendees. Commuters are urged to plan their journeys accordingly, and those traveling towards New Delhi Railway Station are advised to use the Paharganj side and avoid the Ajmeri Gate route.

Traffic Diversions and Public Transport

To help mitigate the traffic rush, several key areas will undergo traffic diversions:

• Subhash Park T-Point
• Raj Ghat
• Delhi Gate
• ITO
• Ajmeri Gate
• Ranjeet Singh Flyover
• Bhavbhuti Marg - DDU Marg Red Light
• Round About Jhandewalan

Delhi Police have recommended public transport as the preferred mode of travel during this period, as it will help reduce congestion on the roads. Commuters should also park their vehicles only in designated parking areas to avoid unnecessary obstruction and traffic buildup. Roadside parking is strongly discouraged to ensure smooth traffic flow.

General Instructions for Commuters

To make the event a success while minimizing inconvenience, the Delhi Traffic Police has issued some general guidelines for all commuters:

• Use public transport wherever possible to avoid congestion.
• Park only in designated parking areas.
• Avoid roadside parking to facilitate uninterrupted movement.
• In case of noticing any unusual or suspicious objects or individuals, commuters are urged to inform the police immediately to ensure public safety and security.

With these guidelines in place, commuters are advised to plan ahead and check real-time updates on traffic conditions. The Delhi CM swearing-in ceremony promises to be a significant event, and effective traffic management is essential to accommodate the expected crowd while ensuring the safety and convenience of all Delhi residents.
