Hanuman Jayanti 2024: As Hanuman Jayanti approaches on Tuesday, April 23, the Delhi Police has issued a comprehensive traffic advisory to manage the influx of devotees and the festivities accompanying the occasion. With numerous religious organisations planning celebrations and processions throughout Delhi, including the grand festivities by the Hanuman Mandir Committee near Connaught Place's Baba Kharak Singh Marg, traffic management becomes paramount.

Hanuman Jayanti, celebrated on the full moon day of Shukla Paksha during the month of Chaitra, holds immense significance for devotees across the country.
In light of the traffic restrictions, commuters are encouraged to utilise public transportation alternatives and plan their routes accordingly, particularly those traveling towards ISBT, railway stations, or airports. Additionally, traffic will be redirected from specific points, including Outer CC Baba Kharak Singh Marg, roundabout GPO, Patel Chowk, and Windsor Place, to streamline traffic management.
