Delhi Traffic Police have cautioned residents and commuters to expect significant traffic disruptions during the two-day BRICS Summit, with regulated movement on key arterial routes throughout the capital. The advisory comes as preparations intensify for the international gathering, with authorities implementing traffic management measures to facilitate smooth movement of delegates and dignitaries.
Commuters have been asked to plan their journeys in advance and allow extra travel time during the summit period. The police have particularly recommended the use of the Delhi Metro as an alternative to road transport, given anticipated congestion on major routes across the city.
The traffic restrictions will remain in force on September 12 and 13, affecting movement on critical thoroughfares. Authorities have advised citizens to stay updated on traffic advisories and exercise patience during the summit period.
Deli Traffic Police have not specified which routes will face restrictions, but previous international summits in the capital have typically disrupted traffic on roads leading to venue areas and connecting major zones. Residents and daily commuters are encouraged to check official traffic advisories for real-time updates on restrictions and alternative routes.
