Farmers' Protests to Impact Delhi Traffic on December 6: Key Updates and Alternative Routes
Protest locations, particularly border areas and central hubs, will experience significant congestion, prompting commuters to plan alternate routes.
Major Traffic Hotspots
Singhu Border (Delhi-Haryana)
Heavy traffic delays are expected at the Singhu Border, a key protest site. Roads connecting areas like Rohini and Pitampura in North Delhi are likely to be affected.
Tikri Border (Delhi-Haryana)
The Tikri Border, along NH 44, will see disruptions as protesters gather. Commuters traveling between Delhi and Haryana should expect detours and extended travel times.
Ghazipur Border (Delhi-UP)
East Delhi residents and those commuting via the Ghazipur Border to Uttar Pradesh, including Noida, should anticipate severe congestion, particularly during peak hours.
Central Delhi Protests
Protesters may also assemble at Jantar Mantar, Connaught Place, and Parliament Street, causing disruptions on major roads such as Janpath, Sansad Marg, and Baba Kharak Singh Marg.
Delays are likely to be most severe during evening (4:30 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours. Protesters are expected to adapt their routes based on police interventions, potentially causing dynamic disruptions throughout the day.
Suggested Alternative Routes
- North Delhi: Use Outer Ring Road, Wazirabad Road, or Mukarba Chowk to bypass the Singhu Border.
- West Delhi: Consider Najafgarh Road or the Ring Road to avoid Tikri Border traffic.
- East Delhi: Use the DND Flyway, NH 24, or routes near Anand Vihar and ITO instead of the Ghazipur Border.
- South Delhi: Opt for Outer Ring Road or peripheral routes to steer clear of traffic near central government areas.
The Delhi Traffic Police will issue regular updates on road closures and diversions. Travelers are encouraged to monitor these alerts and adjust their routes accordingly.
