Vehicular traffic on Janpath, Ashoka Road, and Barakhamba Road, among other roads in central Delhi, will remain affected from October 18 to 21 as the city will host the 90th Annual General Assembly of the Interpol at Pragati Maidan, police said on Sunday. Delegations from 195 countries will attend the event, they said, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate it on October 18 and Union Home Minister Amit Shah will address the valedictory function on October 21.

The traffic police said the commuters traveling in the vicinity of the New Delhi district could encounter delays and may wish to consider alternative routes during the period specified. According to the traffic advisory, the delegates will stay in seven hotels — The Lalit, The Imperial, Shangri La, Le Meridien, The Oberoi, Hyatt Regency, and The Ashok — and travel to Pragati Maidan, the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, and the airport. Various traffic measures will be implemented to ensure smooth transportation for the delegates.

“Non-essential staff members can be directed to work from home, employees can be advised to use public transport and working hours can be staggered. Individuals can cooperate by using buses and metro trains for unavoidable travel plans, postponing avoidable travel plans and bypassing roads falling within New Delhi district,” the advisory said.
