The funeral of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh is set to take place today, and in light of this, the Delhi Police has issued a comprehensive traffic advisory to manage the expected congestion in the city. As people gather to pay their respects, authorities have outlined specific routes to avoid to ensure smooth movement for those attending the funeral, as well as other commuters.
Delhi Police has warned of traffic disruptions around key locations such as his residence and the designated funeral venue. The police have suggested alternative routes to reduce congestion, particularly near areas like 10, Janpath and nearby locations, where heavy traffic is expected.
Several roads will be closed or diverted during the funeral procession, and additional law enforcement personnel will be deployed to maintain order. The public has been urged to plan their travel accordingly and avoid unnecessary travel in the affected areas. Additionally, those attending the funeral have been requested to arrive early to avoid last-minute delays.
Dr. Singh, who served as the Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014, is widely respected for his contributions to the country’s economic reforms and foreign policy. His passing marks the end of an era, and his funeral will be a moment of reflection for many citizens and leaders alike.
