Delhi Police have issued a traffic advisory due to the Beating Retreat Ceremony scheduled on January 29, 2025, at Vijay Chowk as part of the Republic Day celebrations. The event will also involve the lighting of important buildings like Rashtrapati Bhawan, North Block, South Block, and Parliament House.

As a result of the ceremony, traffic in the area will be affected between 2:00 PM and 9:30 PM on Wednesday. The police have advised commuters to avoid routes around Vijay Chowk and the New Delhi area. Vijay Chowk will be closed for general traffic during this time, and certain roads will have restrictions.

The restricted roads include Rafi Marg (from Golden Mosque to Krishi Bhavan), Raisina Road (from Krishi Bhavan to Vijay Chowk), Dalhousie Road, and Rajpath (from Vijay Chowk to C-Hexagon). These roads will have limited vehicle movement between 2:00 PM and 9:30 PM.

For people traveling towards Connaught Place or the Central Secretariat, there are alternative routes to follow. Vehicles coming from Shanti Path, Vinay Marg, and Sardar Patel Marg should take the following route: Panchsheel Marg, Simon Bolivar Marg, Vande Mataram Marg, Shankar Road (R/A), and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Road.

Other vehicles heading towards the Central Secretariat will stop at Udyan Marg and take a different path to return via Kali Bari Marg, Mandir Marg, and Shankar Road. Commuters heading to Connaught Place should use Mandir Marg, Kali Bari Marg, GPO, and Baba Kharak Singh Marg. They will return via Bhagat Singh Marg, Peshwa Road, Mandir Marg, Shankar Road, and Vande Mataram Marg.

For vehicles coming from South Delhi and heading towards Tughlaq Road, they should follow the route via Arvindo Marg Chowk, Safdarjung Road, Kamal Ataturk Marg, Simon Bolivar Marg, and continue through Vande Mataram Marg, Shankar Road, and Park Street.

Light motor vehicles, such as buses, can travel from Mandi House via Ferozshah Road to Connaught Place, Barakhamba Road, and Shivaji Stadium. On the return journey, these buses will travel via Kasturba Gandhi Marg and Barakhamba Road.

Commuters are advised to plan their travel carefully and avoid these areas to ensure smooth movement during the Beating Retreat Ceremony.
