INDIA Bloc March Disrupted Traffic on Monday
Traffic movement across parts of the capital was disrupted on Monday, October 12, during the INDIA bloc march towards the Supreme Court. Several key roads and junctions in central Delhi experienced congestion, including areas around Parliament Street, Barakhamba Road, Mandi House and Connaught Place.
The demonstration was held amid opposition protests over electoral-roll revisions and demands concerning Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Police arrangements and security measures affected movement around parts of central New Delhi.
Monday’s congestion and Tuesday’s potential restrictions should be treated separately, as traffic arrangements can change with the situation on the ground.

Commuters are advised to:
- Check the latest traffic advisory before leaving.
