Expect traffic congestion in major parts of Delhi today; here are alternate routes to take
Massive protests by AAP workers against the ED arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal are likely to result in traffic congestion in central Delhi. Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory urging motorists to avoid key areas due to these protests on Friday.
The advisory warned about traffic disruptions on Krishna Menon Marg, Motilal Nehru Marg, Janpath, and Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Road. These routes are expected to be affected as AAP supporters hit the streets to protest the arrest of CM Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate.

AAP workers and party members have called for nationwide demonstrations against the BJP, accusing the party of targeting its leaders. The protests are expected to continue as AAP supporters demand justice for their party members. Stay tuned for further updates on the situation.
