According to the advisory, the Delhi Traffic Police has alerted the public about traffic diversions and restrictions in parts of South Delhi, especially in the Saket area.
The advisory states that traffic diversions will be enforced near select City Walk Mall, DLF Avenue Mall, and MGF Metropolitan Court Mall in Saket due to an anticipated surge in visitors. The special traffic measures will begin at 2 PM on both days.
