NOIDA, Aug. 12 -- The movement of heavy, medium, and light commercial goods vehicles from Gautam Budh Nagar into Delhi will be temporarily halted for two nights this week due to Independence Day security protocols, the district traffic police said on Monday.
The restrictions will be in effect from 10pm on Tuesday (August 12) till the culmination of full dress rehearsal on August 13, and be put in place again on August 14 till the event ends on August 15. Trucks and other goods carriers will not be allowed to cross into Delhi through the Chilla border, DND Flyway, or Kalindi Kunj, officials said.
"Movement of heavy, medium, and light goods vehicles from Gautam Budh Nagar in Delhi will remain prohibited for security reasons," said Lakhan Singh Yadav Deputy Commissioner of Police (traffic).
For easy traffic flow, diversion plans have been made. Traffic will be diverted to Noida and Greater Noida, with alternative routes mapped via the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and Eastern Peripheral Expressway. From Chilla and DND, vehicles will take U-turns towards the expressway, while those from Kalindi Kunj will be re-routed before the Yamuna underpass.
"The traffic restrictions are being implemented to ensure smooth movement and security during the Independence Day celebration. Restrictions have been imposed to prevent congestion on key approach roads," added DCP.
A dedicated helpline number (+91 9971009001) will be active for assistance during the restriction period....
