Celebrations at Santoshi Mata Mandir in Hari Nagar may affect the traffic movement on Jail Road.

Ramlila will also be celebrated across Delhi from September 26 to October 5 between 6 pm and 11 pm, the traffic police said in its advisory. It listed 46 main venues where Ramlilas will be organised, including Red Fort, Ramlila Maidan JLN Marg, RK Puram Sector 5, Sarojini Nagar, Dakshinpuri, Punjabi Bagh, Dwarka, Hari Nagar, Pitampura, Sultanpuri, Gandhi Nagar, and Model Town.

Apart from this, Ramlilas would also be arranged by local residents in various colonies, market areas and open grounds and some may even take out processions in their localities, which may affect traffic, the advisory said.

Vehicular movement on Nishad Raj Marg (New Daryaganj Road), Netaji Subhash Marg, Turkman Gate and Jawahar Lal Nehru (JLN) Marg will be restricted depending on the crowd situation after 5 pm on these days due to Ramlilas being organised at Ramlila Ground and Red Fort.
