Traffic restrictions will be in place near Rajghat on April 16 due to a VVIP visit, coinciding with Kirori Mal College's Renaissance fest in North Campus. Commuters are advised to avoid key roads and plan routes in advance to minimise delays.
Commuters in North Delhi are advised to plan their travel carefully as the Renaissance 2026 at Kirori Mal College is set to impact traffic on April 16 and 17. The advisory, issued by Delhi Traffic Police, highlights expected congestion due to a large student gathering.
EVENT TIMINGS AND EXPECTED FOOTFALL
The annual fest will be held from 12:00 noon to 8:00 pm on both days. Authorities estimate a crowd of around 10,000 students, which is likely to significantly affect vehicular movement in and around the Delhi University area.
ROADS LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED
Traffic movement may remain slow or restricted on key stretches, including:
-
Prof. ND Kapoor Marg
Mahatma Hansraj Marg
Bungalow Road
Sudhir Bose Marg
These roads connect major parts of North Campus, making them particularly vulnerable to congestion during peak hours.
DIVERSION POINTS ANNOUNCED
To manage traffic flow, diversions may be implemented at:
St. Stephen’s College Red Light
Hindu College Red Light
Kranti Chowk
Patel Chest
Mall Road (connecting roads to Delhi University)
Diversions will be enforced as needed depending on real-time traffic conditions.
ADVISORY FOR COMMUTERS
The Delhi Traffic Police has urged the public to:
Avoid the affected routes during peak hours
Refrain from roadside parking to prevent bottlenecks
Follow instructions from traffic personnel deployed on-site
