The Prime Minister’s rally is expected to affect traffic in central Delhi regions, such as Delhi Gate, ITO, Barakhamba and KG Marg.

The Congress road show, meanwhile, will be attended by Priyanka Gandhi and is scheduled to begin from Brahmpuri and end at Yamuna Vihar after passing through Gonda Chowk and the DTC Depot, among others.

The traffic police said that while there have been no restrictions on the movement of vehicles, jams could be expected in the afternoon.

“Motorists could do well to avoid these parts of the city from 3pm to 9pm if they are not part of the political action or do not have work there,” a traffic police officer said.
