Kanwar Yatra in Delhi Causes Noise and Traffic Disruptions Along Pilgrimage Routes
During the Kanwar Yatra in Delhi, loudspeaker-equipped convoy trucks have generated noise levels up to 110 decibels, significantly exceeding legal limits and causing disturbance in residential areas. The pilgrimage has also led to road closures, traffic diversions, and restricted access along major routes like Grand Trunk Road, affecting daily commutes and residents’ routines. While some locals express inconvenience due to detours and increased noise, others accept the disruptions as part of religious observance. Authorities have designated specific corridors and set up rest camps to manage the event.
