The Delhi Traffic Police has announced a traffic advisory to manage the influx of devotees for the Shri Krishna Janmashtami celebrations at the ISKCON Temple located in East of Kailash. This event is scheduled for September 4, 2026, and the advisory aims to address anticipated heavy footfall and traffic congestion in the surrounding areas during this time.

To facilitate easy movement, one carriageway of Raja Dhir Sain Marg is set to be closed starting from 6 am on September 2, 2026. This closure will remain effective until the completion of the religious festivities on September 5. Local authorities are taking these measures to ensure safety and efficient traffic flow.

Impact on Local Traffic

The expected gathering of a significant number of devotees at the ISKCON Temple is likely to result in considerable traffic congestion locally. It is estimated that the volume of visitors will peak during the celebrations, making it essential for motorists to carefully plan their travel.

Commuters are strongly advised to use alternative routes and avoid unnecessary travel towards the affected areas around the temple. By doing so, they can help mitigate congestion and ensure a smoother journey for other passengers. Information on alternate routes will be made available by traffic personnel deployed on-site.

Motorists are urged to adhere to diversion signs and any instructions provided by the traffic police. This cooperation is vital for maintaining orderly traffic movement and enhancing the overall experience of the festival-goers.

Cooperation and Compliance Encouraged

In light of the anticipated disruptions, the Delhi Traffic Police strongly encourages motorists to remain patient throughout the festivities. Following traffic rules is essential for ensuring public safety, particularly during large events where footfall and vehicular density increase significantly.

Authorities are appealing to all drivers to display cooperation with traffic personnel providing on-ground support. Such compliance will contribute to smoother operations during the Janmashtami celebrations and assist in managing the expected surge of visitors effectively.

This traffic advisory has been issued with the intent of preparing the public for the special circumstances surrounding the Janmashtami festivities. It is vital for community members and visitors to understand the measures being implemented to facilitate a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
