On the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, many organisations are scheduled to celebrate and hold processions across Delhi. One of the biggest is the Hanuman Mandir Committee at Hanuman Mandir located near Connaught Place’s Baba Kharak Singh Marg. This massive celebration is likely to gather around 50,000 to 60,000 devotees. Also, there will be a Shobha Yatra from 3 PM to 6 PM which will see the participation of around 1,500 people. This will impact the traffic in Central Delhi and the surrounding areas.

The Delhi Police took to X (formerly Twitter) to release a traffic advisory to avoid any traffic disruption. According to this advisory, no vehicles will be allowed to halt or park on Baba Kharak Singh Marg and Outer CC, Connaught Place. This will make traffic management easier in the area. Also, any parked vehicle will be “ towed away and prosecuted according to the law.” Traffic on Outer CC Baba Kharak Singh Marg, roundabout GPO, roundabout Patel Chowk, and roundabout Windsor Place will also be diverted to avoid congestion.
