Traffic Advisory Issued for ‘Kisan Mahapanchayat’ in Delhi on March 14
In anticipation of the ‘Kisan Mahapanchayat’ organized by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) at Ramlila Ground in Delhi on March 14, the Delhi traffic police has issued an advisory outlining traffic regulations and route diversions. Over 50,000 farmers from Punjab are expected to attend the event, prompting the traffic police to regulate movement from 6 am to 4 pm on Thursday.
The regulated routes include Jawaharlal Nehru Marg, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, Asaf Ali Road, Swami Vivekanand Marg, Netaji Subhash Marg, Minto Road, Maharaja Ranjeet Singh flyover, Bhavbhuti Marg, Chaman Lal Marg, Barakhamba Road, Tolstoy Marg, Jai Singh Road, Sansad Marg, Baba Kharak Singh Marg, Ashoka Road, Connaught Circus, and DDU Marg.
Possible traffic diversions may be imposed at Delhi Gate, Mir Dard Chowk, Ajmeri Gate Chowk, Guru Nanak Chowk, R/Kamla Market, Paharganj Chowk, and R/A Jhandewalan, as well as on specific routes like Maharaja Ranjeet Singh flyover, Barakhamba Road/Tolstoy Road crossing, Janpath road/Tolstoy Marg crossing, and R/A GPO.
The advisory urges commuters to plan their travel carefully, use public transport, especially Metro services, and allocate sufficient time for road journeys. Additionally, the Delhi police have granted a No Objection Certificate for the Mahapanchayat at Ramlila Maidan, ensuring basic amenities such as parking, water, toilets, and ambulances are provided.
The SKM anticipates a significant turnout for the ‘Kisan Mahapanchayat’ and plans to adopt a ‘Sankalp Patra’ (letter of resolution) during the event to intensify the fight against what they perceive as “pro-corporate, communal, dictatorial policies” of the Modi Government.
