Earlier, a traffic advisory was issued amid the repair work of Sarita Vihar Flyover (Badarpur to Ashram), due to which half of the carriageway is expected to remain closed from 25 July to 8 August. However, the other half will remain operational for partial traffic flow.
In July, during the Kanwar Yatra, a detailed advisory was issued announcing the closure of several key stretches of the national capital to handle the pilgrim rush.
Meanwhile, in a separate initiative, the Delhi Traffic police has relaunched the Traffic Prahari app, a platform that allows citizens to report traffic rule violations and receive cash rewards for valid reports.
Under this app, users can upload a photograph or video of the violation along with a clear timestamp and GPS location. This initiative aims to enforce traffic laws and increase road safety.
