In addition to the above main venues, effigies will be burnt at several other places also by local residents, RWAs, MWAs etc in various colonies, market areas & open grounds.
In general because of Dussehra celebrations, congestion of traffic is likely to take place on various roads in the NCT of Delhi. Motorists are requested to have patience, observe traffic rules & road discipline and follow directions of traffic personnel deployed for the traffic arrangements. People are requested to plan their journeys in advance to avoid any kind of inconvenience.
There shall be restrictions on movement of traffic on Netaji Subhash Marg, Nishad Raj Marg (New Darya Ganj Road), Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg and Turkman Gate depending on the crowd situation, after 5.00 P.M.
It is also advisable to avail public transport to reduce congestion on roads. In case you move out in your personal vehicles, ensure that you park it at designated parking lots only. Roadside parking will cause hindrance to the normal flow of traffic and further perpetuate congestion in areas.
It is important to note, in case any unusual/unidentified object or person is noticed in suspicious circumstances, information should be given to the Police
