Traffic Restrictions & Security Arrangements
The Delhi Traffic Police are taking steps because of the event. They want to make sure everything goes smoothly and people are safe. So they are going to limit traffic around Delhi. Some main roads near Vijay Chowk, Kartavya Path Rafi Marg, Raisina Road and nearby areas will be. Have restrictions from the afternoon on.
The Delhi Traffic Police are telling people to stay from the central vista zone in the evening. They think it is an idea to use other roads and public transport if you can. This will help the Delhi Traffic Police keep everything under control. The event is the reason for these traffic restrictions, around Delhi.
The Security at this event is really strict now. They have checks in place like zones that you can only enter if you are supposed to be there and more police are around. The people in charge are asking everyone who is going to please work with the security people get there early and bring an identification card if you are going to the ceremony in person. They really want the Security to be good, at the ceremony. So the Security will be tight. The attendees need to follow the rules and help the Security people do their job.
