The advisory states that traffic restrictions, regulations, or detours may be put in place on the Ranjeet Singh flyover between Barakhamba Road and Guru Nanak Chowk, between Minto Road and the roundabout at Kamla Market, Vivekanand Marg, and JLN Marg (Delhi gate to Guru Nanak Chowk).

The aforementioned roads and stretches should be avoided by commuters. According to the advisory, commuters heading to New Delhi Railway Station, Old Delhi Railway Station, Nizamuddin Railway Station, and ISBT should leave early to account for potential delays on the route.
Utilize public transportation to relieve traffic on the roads. Only leave your cars in designated parking areas. Avoid parking along the road because it impedes the flow of regular traffic, the statement added.
BKS said the 'Kisan Garjana' protest march is being organised in Delhi to seek various relief measures for the cultivators to improve their condition.
