Vehicular movement was slow in parts of Central Delhi as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for the second consecutive day in a money laundering probe.
In a series of tweets, Delhi Traffic Police posted information about the routes to be avoided even as it mentioned that necessary arrangements had been made as a precautionary measure.
“Arrangements have been made to ensure smooth flow of traffic for public transport as well as people commuting to Delhi so that they are not affected. As yesterday, we ensured that traffic flow was smooth. We will ensure it will remain smooth today as well,” said a senior police official.
The special traffic arrangements restricted inward movement of buses in New Delhi beyond Gol Dak Khana Junction, Patel Chowk, Windsor Place, Teen Murti Chowk and Prithviraj Road.
“Kindly avoid Gol Methi junction, Tughlak Road Junction, Claridges Junction, Q-point Junction, Sunehri Masjid Junction, Maulana Azad Road Junction & Man Singh Road Junction between 0700 hrs & 1200 hrs. Due to special arrangements there will be heavy traffic movement on these roads," the Traffic Police tweeted in the morning.
It also informed commuters via Twitter to avoid Motilal Nehru Marg, Akbar Road, Janpath and Man Singh Road between 7 A.M. and 12 P.M. “Kindly avoid SP Marg, Dhaula Kuan Flyover and Gurgaon road between 10.45 hrs & 11.15 hrs due to special traffic arrangements," another tweet from the Delhi Traffic Police read.
Gandhi was questioned by Enforcement Directorate (ED) for over 10 hours on Monday in a money laundering probe linked to National Herald.
