Delhi Police in an update on X informed that “traffic arrangements may change depending on movement and security requirements.” Commuters have been urged to verify official travel updates, adhere to notified diversions, and yield to directions from personnel on duty. Transit authorities have also emphasized keeping emergency corridors clear and factoring in significant cushion time when heading to airports, railway stations, and ISBTs.
The security measures coincide with broad disruptions across other transport networks. Northern Railway announced in a September 10 press release that will face cancellations, diversions, short-originations, short-terminations, and delays through September 13 due to operational requirements. Passengers taking long-distance or local trains have been advised to call 139 or consult the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) prior to setting out.
