Delhi is bracing for traffic diversions and road closures in Rohini as part of special arrangements scheduled between October 30 and November 2. The Delhi Traffic Police have announced that several arterial and connecting roads in the region will remain restricted between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., advising commuters to plan alternative routes to minimise disruption.
According to traffic officials, the curbs are essential to ensure smooth crowd and vehicular management during a major public event expected to attract heavy footfall across the Rohini sub-city. The advisory affects movement along key stretches including Bhagwan Mahavir Road and KNK Marg, alongside feeder routes such as HL Parwana Road, Ram Murti Pasi Marg, Sector 15 Road, Bawana Road, and Kanjhawala Road.
For daily commuters and residents, alternate routes such as Maharaja Agrasen Marg and Dahiya Badshah Road have been suggested to maintain access across sectors. Officials have urged motorists to follow the guidance of on-ground personnel and adhere to lane discipline to prevent congestion.Commercial vehicle entry will be particularly restricted during the period, with diversions set up at major intersections including Peeragarhi Chowk, Madhuban Chowk, Deepali Chowk, Wazirabad, and Mukarba Chowk. The advisory also highlights key diversion points such as the Outer Ring Road, K.N. Katju Marg Crossing, and Rohini Jail Road, where police presence will be strengthened to streamline movement.
Transport experts suggest that planned diversions like these are necessary for maintaining civic order and ensuring the safety of pedestrians and motorists during high-density events. However, they also point to the growing need for long-term traffic management strategies that promote public transport and low-emission mobility options to reduce urban congestion.
The Delhi government’s renewed focus on sustainable urban transport including last-mile connectivity improvements, electric vehicle adoption, and integrated mobility corridors is seen as vital to ensuring that such temporary disruptions do not compound long-term mobility challenges. Encouraging commuters to use public transport or carpool during these periods, experts say, can significantly reduce both carbon emissions and travel delays.Officials have appealed to citizens to remain patient, cooperate with deployed personnel, and use eco-friendly travel options wherever possible. As the capital grapples with pollution and congestion, coordinated efforts between civic authorities and commuters can transform short-term inconveniences into long-term lessons in sustainable city living.
