Kanwar Yatra Causes Noise and Traffic Disruptions in Delhi Amid Traffic Advisories
The annual Kanwar Yatra in Delhi has led to significant noise pollution, traffic congestion, and disruptions for residents, especially in east, south, and southeast Delhi. Devotees travel through major roads like Mathura Road and Ring Road, often using loudspeakers beyond permitted noise limits, causing late-night disturbances. Residents report limited police enforcement despite regulations. Delhi Traffic Police have issued advisories with traffic restrictions and diversions to facilitate the pilgrimage and advise commuters to plan accordingly.
