As New Year’s Eve approaches, Delhi Police has implemented a strict traffic plan to tackle the expected chaos, especially in Connaught Place. Starting at 8 PM on December 31, several areas will be blocked for vehicles, and strict action will be taken against traffic violations. Let’s look at what’s in store for commuters this New Year’s Eve.
No Entry Zones to Clear the Roads
To prevent congestion and ensure smooth traffic flow, Delhi Police has enforced no-entry zones around Connaught Place. Vehicles will be restricted from entering key locations such as Mandi House, Bengali Market, and the Ranjit Singh Flyover. The areas around Gole Market, GPO, and Kasturba Gandhi Road will also be closed off for vehicles.
Parking Restrictions and Designated Areas
Only vehicles with valid passes will be allowed inside Connaught Place. Drivers must park their cars in designated areas outside the restricted zone. Some of the main parking spots include Gole Dak Khana, Patel Chowk, Mandi House, and Minto Road. Drivers are advised to plan and avoid the hassle of searching for parking in crowded areas.
Strict Action Against Traffic Offenses
Delhi Police is leaving no room for lawbreakers. Strict actions will be taken against people caught committing offenses such as drunken driving, speeding, stunt biking, and reckless driving. The police will have personnel stationed across the city, especially at busy areas like Connaught Place and Hauz Khas, to ensure everyone follows the rules.
Why Public Transport is the Best Option
Given the heavy traffic and restrictions, Delhi Police is urging people to use public transport like the metro and buses to reach celebration spots. With roads blocked and parking limited, public transport is the most convenient and hassle-free option to enjoy the New Year’s festivities without worrying about getting stuck in traffic.
Get Ready for a Safe and Smooth New Year’s Eve
Delhi Police is working hard to ensure a safe and enjoyable New Year’s Eve for everyone. Follow the rules, plan ahead, and consider using public transport to avoid any traffic troubles. Let’s ring in the new year with joy, safety, and smooth roads!
