Overview

• Delhi Traffic Police said more than 2,000 personnel are on the ground with leaves cancelled, additional cranes positioned near market hubs, and motorcycle patrols intensified.
• Officers reported live monitoring via CCTV and Google Maps with manual regulation at central Delhi roundabouts, alongside public advisories to use mass transit and avoid roadside parking.
• Major bottlenecks persisted on Ring Road and Outer Ring Road, Mathura Road, Aurobindo Marg, Barapullah elevated road, the DND Flyway, and around Connaught Place, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, Karol Bagh and Chandni Chowk.
• A broken-down crane at the Andrews Ganj flyover left commuters stuck for over two hours on the Moolchand–AIIMS stretch, while VIP movement and construction zones compounded delays elsewhere.
• Spillover congestion gripped Gurugram and Noida with long waits on MG Road, Sohna Road, Golf Course Extension, Cyber City and the DND corridor, and officials cautioned pressure will continue through the festive and wedding season.
