Traffic Restrictions Enforced on NH 9 for Kanwar Yatra; DME Diversions Delayed
Authorities in western Uttar Pradesh have implemented a 48-hour complete traffic ban on National Highway 9 in Amroha to facilitate the Kanwar Yatra pilgrimage, reserving both carriageways exclusively for devotees from Sunday noon to Tuesday noon. Meanwhile, on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, planned diversions for Kanwar pilgrims have been postponed due to lower-than-expected movement of Dak Kanwars, with restrictions currently limited to heavy vehicles. Officials continue to monitor the situation and may impose further restrictions during the pilgrimage's final days.
