The high-profile event, scheduled for September 12 and 13 at Bharat Mandapam, has necessitated strict security and traffic protocols across the capital. Indian Railways has confirmed that train movements at the New Delhi Railway Station will be impacted throughout this three-day period.

Travel Assistance and Traffic Advisories

To manage travel inquiries, passengers are encouraged to contact the railway helpline at 139 or utilize the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) for real-time updates. The Delhi Traffic Police has implemented a comprehensive advisory featuring 22 diversion points and regulations across more than 35 controlled roads. Authorities recommend that commuters avoid these controlled corridors and prioritize using the Delhi Metro to reach transport hubs, including railway stations, airports, and ISBTs, to mitigate the risk of missing connections due to road traffic.
