Delhi Traffic Advisory: Kanwar Yatra 2026 Disrupts Major Routes

The annual Kanwar Yatra, a significant religious pilgrimage, began today, prompting the Delhi Traffic Police to issue a comprehensive advisory with route diversions and heavy vehicle restrictions. Lakhs of devotees are expected to pass through the national capital until 11 August , leading to restrictions on key stretches like GT Road from Apsara Border to Yamuna Bridge and the closure of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway to Kanwar vehicles.

For B2B travel operators, this implies potential delays and necessitates careful route planning for ground transport in and around the NCR region until mid-August.
