At least Delhi Police is proactive about giving advance notice. Last time I got stuck near Bhatti Mines for 2 hours without warning. This time I'll plan my route accordingly. Good job by traffic police. 👏
Bhai, every second day there's some 'urs' or 'satsang' or 'bhandara' in Delhi. The city's infrastructure isn't designed for this constant disruption. We need dedicated spaces for large gatherings outside city limits. 😤
I'm actually a devotee and will be attending. The arrangements are always well managed - lots of volunteers, free prasad, and proper parking. Yes, there's some inconvenience but bhakti is important too. Peace out! ✨
Typical Delhi - one event and entire city's traffic goes haywire. Why can't they make these ashrams outside city limits? The government keeps allowing construction on green areas, then we suffer. Also, heavy vehicle diversion to Mehrauli-Gurugram road will create chaos there too.
Good to see they've made provisions for emergency vehicles. That's something many such advisories forget. Kudos to Delhi Police for thinking about ambulances and fire brigade. Hope the devotees cooperate and follow the rules. 🙏
