Delhi is gearing up for the state funeral of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, a momentous occasion that requires special traffic arrangements. The Delhi Traffic Police has issued a comprehensive advisory to ensure smooth movement and avoid congestion on the day of the funeral, which is scheduled for 28th December 2024 at Nigambodh Ghat.
Dr. Manmohan Singh, regarded as the architect of India’s economic reforms, passed away on the night of 27th December 2024 at the age of 92 following age-related medical complications. His demise has left a significant impact on the nation, and in honour of his contributions, a national mourning period has been declared. The traffic advisory aims to ease the flow of visitors and dignitaries attending the funeral service.
Key Areas Affected by Traffic Restrictions
The advisory specifies major traffic diversions on key routes near Nigambodh Ghat from 7 am to 3 pm on the day of the funeral. Roads that will be affected include Raja Ram Kohli Marg, Rajghat Red Light, Signature Bridge, and Yudhister Setu. Additionally, surrounding areas such as Ring Road, Nishad Raj Marg, SPM Marg, and Netaji Subhash Marg will also face diversions to accommodate the large number of foreign dignitaries and the general public attending the state funeral.
Public Transport Encouraged
To minimize traffic congestion, the advisory strongly encourages the public to avoid driving on the affected routes and to opt for public transport. People are also urged to avoid parking along the roads, as it can cause hindrances to the smooth flow of traffic. The Delhi Traffic Police has emphasized the importance of staying alert and reporting any unusual or suspicious activity to ensure the safety of all attendees.
Final Preparations for the Funeral at Nigambodh Ghat
Preparations are underway at Nigambodh Ghat, where the final rites of Dr. Singh will be conducted with full state honours. A significant presence of dignitaries, including foreign diplomats, is expected, and the government has made necessary arrangements for their arrival. These measures will ensure that the event proceeds smoothly, and the traffic disruptions are kept to a minimum.
As the nation comes together to pay its last respects to Dr. Manmohan Singh, these traffic arrangements are crucial to maintaining order and respecting the solemnity of the occasion.
