Delhi traffic police issues advisory ahead of Oct 10 protests; check affected routes

Delhi Traffic Police has issued an advisory warning of traffic diversions across 30 key locations in the national capital on Saturday, amid heightened security arrangements for a planned protest at Jantar Mantar against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The traffic restrictions will come into effect from 6am, depending on the prevailing law and order situation. Police have cautioned that movement at the identified junctions and surrounding stretches may be affected as authorities prepare for the demonstration planned by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP).

The protest is being organised to demand the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in electoral rolls. Delhi Police has denied permission for the gathering but organisers have maintained that they intend to proceed with the demonstration. The advisory covers several key roads and junctions across central and New Delhi, including areas around Connaught Place, Jantar Mantar, Parliament Street and government buildings.
