On 21 July 2026, Delhi traffic police issued a comprehensive advisory for the capital as protests and a rally were scheduled to take place around Kishan Ghat. The notice warned that traffic restrictions would begin at 08:30 AM and custom routes would be enforced to preserve safety and flow.
The protest organisers announced the events in advance, but the police insisted that commuters should prep ahead. The bulletin listed specific arteries that would suffer redirection: Delhi Gate, Rajghat crossing, Guru Nanak Chowk, Shanti Vann Chowk, Rajghat DTC depot, ‘IP Flyover’, and several adjacent streets including Satyagrah Marg, Velodrome Road, and the Rajghat DTC Bypass Road.
Drivers can divert using alternate routes, but must heed local police directives. Vehicles should park only in designated spots; roadside parking could hamper the ventilation of traffic flow and create hazards. The advisory stresses that citizens should employ real‑time navigation apps for up‑to‑date information.
And when traveling to the airport, railway stations or nearby areas, people are encouraged to plan their journey in advance. The police have urged patience and adherence to all rules to avoid congestion. For those caught in the midst of the protest, steering clear of the affected guardouts is a safer bet.
Further details are available on the Delhi Traffic Police website. If officers are stationed at a major junction, readers should listen closely to their cues. In case of emergencies or for additional guidance, the department lists contact avenues: their official website, Facebook, X, Instagram, WhatsApp (8750871493), and a help‑line number (1095/011‑25844444). The mix of digital and phone channels aims to keep the public connected.
The traffic advisory is set to run during the protest’s active hours, but commuters unfamiliar with the area are advised to stay alert. Once the protest concludes, traffic should gradually resume normal patterns. Will the next day’s commute look like last week’s? Only time will reveal that.
