New Delhi, Apr 24 (PTI) Delhi Traffic Police on Thursday issued an advisory announcing special traffic arrangements and diversions in Paschim Vihar in view of the Shree Hanumant Katha event scheduled to take place from April 26 to April 30 at the DDA Ground.

The religious discourse will be conducted by Dhirender Shastri of Bageshwar Dham, popularly known as Baba Bageshwar. A large footfall is expected at the venue, prompting the authorities to enforce route diversions and parking plans for smooth vehicular movement, he said.

Roads leading from Dr Major Ashwini Marg and Chaudhary Balbir Singh Marg towards Rohtak Road and Peeragarhi Chowk will be under diversion for commuters coming from Jwala Heri Market. Similar restrictions will apply on routes from Janakpuri District Centre via Nilothi Road, Outer Ring Road, and the Bhaira Enclave underpass, it said.
