Kanwar peak slows Delhi Noida Faridabad routes
India Today··11 Aug
Traffic across Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad was expected to slow on August 11 as the Kanwar Yatra peaked on Sawan Shivratri. Police advisories flagged congestion, lane limits and longer diversions on Delhi-Noida, Noida-Ghaziabad and Delhi-Faridabad corridors. Kalindi Kunj, DND Flyway and Ashram-Mathura Road-Badarpur stretches were listed among the most affected links for inter-city travel.

What It Means For You
- Delhi-NCR drivers should expect longer trips on Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad connectors on August 11.
- Metro is the advised option for Delhi-Noida movement when road borders clog near Kanwar routes.
- Check Delhi, Noida and Faridabad traffic updates before leaving, especially around Kalindi Kunj and Badarpur.
What's Happening
- Sawan Shivratri coincides with the peak phase of the Kanwar Yatra across Delhi-NCR.
- Police have issued advisories for diversions and delays on major inter-city corridors.
- Kalindi Kunj, DND Flyway and Ashram-Mathura Road-Badarpur are among the highlighted choke points.
Why Shivratri Turns NCR Borders Into Choke Points
- Kanwariyas converge on Shiva temples with Ganga water offerings, raising foot and vehicle density together.
- Border arterials carry both pilgrims and weekday office traffic, so short trips can stall for hours.
- Annual advisories repeat because temple calendars and workday commuting overlap on the same corridors.
