A warning about the procession's route, any restrictions, and potential detours was published on Sunday by the Delhi Traffic Police.
Due to a religious procession that started on Sunday in honour of Sufi Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Ajmer Sharif's 811th urs-e-Mubarak, the vehicular flow was disrupted in some areas of central Delhi on Sunday, and greater congestion is anticipated in such areas on Monday and Tuesday.
On Sunday, the Delhi Traffic Police sent a warning notifying the public of the procession's route, any restrictions, and potential detours on specific highways. According to police, the religious procession could cause traffic jams on some south Delhi highways that have already been congested since Ashram Flyover was closed for building at the beginning of January.
