Noise and Traffic Disruptions Mark Start of Kanwar Yatra in Delhi
The annual Kanwar Yatra in Delhi has led to noise pollution, traffic congestion, and late-night disturbances, particularly in east, south, and southeast Delhi neighborhoods such as Greater Kailash and Nehru Place. Residents report loud music from processions exceeding permissible noise limits and limited police enforcement despite regulations banning loudspeakers after 10 pm. Processions enter the city through multiple borders, causing disruptions on major roads. Authorities have not significantly intervened, raising concerns among local communities about health and safety during the pilgrimage.
