Massive Traffic Jam On Delhi-Meerut Highway Ahead Of Diwali
\n\nNew Delhi: Delhi witnessed heavy traffic congestion on Saturday as people stepped out for last-minute Diwali shopping and festive preparations. At IP Extension, vehicles were seen stuck in long queues stretching for kilometres, with commuters facing delays and slow-moving traffic.
\n\nThe festive rush was also visible at Azadpur Mandi, where a large number of people arrived to buy fruits and vegetables ahead of Diwali. Since the mandi will remain closed for the next two days, shoppers rushed to the market on Saturday.
\n\nThe heavy crowd led to traffic jams outside all gates of the mandi. Long queues of vehicles were reported on roads leading towards Adarsh Nagar Metro station, Jahangirpuri and Azadpur.
\n\nMeanwhile, Delhi Traffic Police has announced special traffic arrangements around Anand Vihar ISBT, railway stations and nearby transport hubs in view of the expected rush during Dhanteras, Diwali, Bhai Dooj and Chhath Puja.
\n\nThe arrangements will remain in place from November 5 to November 15, 2026, to manage the movement of passengers and prevent traffic congestion. Roads likely to be affected include Road No. 56 (Chaudhary Charan Singh Marg) and Road No. 57 (Swami Dayanand Marg).
