Delhi Traffic Police has sounded the alarm for Sunday’s traffic around Qutub Minar, issuing a detailed advisory to handle anticipated crowds from 4 PM to 9 PM. The focus is on the Qutub Minar complex and surrounding Mehrauli Archaeological Park, where visitor numbers are set to spike.
Heavy and commercial vehicles are outright prohibited on vital arteries: no entry from Anuvrat Marg to Phool Mandi, Crescent Road via Masjid Haji Ali Jan Marg to Qutub Minar, or Kalkadas Marg. These roads and their feeder streets ban halting or parking for such vehicles, with immediate towing and fines for offenders.
Light vehicles can navigate Anuvrat Marg, Aurobindo Marg, Crescent Road, and Kalkadas Marg freely, though Qutub Minar access funnels exclusively through Kalkadas Marg. Stick to authorized parking in Mehrauli—else face clamps or tows.
Essential services bypass all curbs: ambulances, fire engines, police, and utilities move un impeded. The public gets a clear message: avoid the area if possible, prioritize metro and buses for your commute.
Jetting off from IGI Airport or heading to New Delhi Station or ISBT? Map your route early. Vigilance is key—alert authorities to any dubious activity pronto. DCP Traffic South Range Sandeep Gupta appeals for public support in following directives, promising fluid traffic if everyone pitches in.
As Delhi balances heritage tourism with urban hustle, this advisory exemplifies smart policing, minimizing disruptions while safeguarding the historic site’s allure.
