Traffic Police will be imposing certain restrictions on the movement of traffic on certain stretches and guiding spectators for the Opening Ceremony so that they can reach the Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium without any inconvenience.

No parking will be allowed near Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, Ajay Chadha, Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic), told reporters here.

He appealed to people to use public transport to reach the venue.

"There is no parking for spectators in the vicinity of Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium for the Opening Ceremony of Commonwealth Games. The spectators coming for this Ceremony are advised to take public transport to reach the Venue," the official said.
