Delhi Traffic Restrictions Announced for Baba Bageshwar Dham Yatra
A large religious walk, called a 'Pad Yatra,' led by a spiritual leader is happening in South Delhi.
Because a very big crowd of people and many cars are expected, the police are changing traffic rules on some roads.
They will stop or redirect cars on certain paths for a long time on November 7th and part of November 8th.
This is to help the big group of people walk safely and to try and prevent traffic jams.
People driving cars are being told to use different roads or take public transport, and to watch for signs and traffic updates.
Special vehicles like ambulances will still be allowed on the restricted roads if they are on duty.
Delhi Traffic Police have announced traffic restrictions and diversions for a Baba Bageshwar Dham 'Pad Yatra' on November 7, 2025.
The procession starts at 11 AM from Adhya Katyayani Temple in Chhatarpur and is expected to attract over 50,000 devotees.
Traffic will be restricted on specific routes in South Delhi, including SSN Marg and Chhattarpur Mandir Road, at different times between November 7 and November 8.
Motorists are advised to use alternative routes or public transport, with parking prohibited on certain roads.
Emergency service vehicles will have access to restricted routes while on duty.
