Happy New Year 2026: Delhi Traffic Police Shares Advisory For Devotees Coming To Khatu Shyam Delhi Dham Mandir

Delhi Traffic Police has issued a detailed traffic advisory for Ekadashi on 31 December 2025 and New Year on 1 January 2026. Massive gatherings at Khatu Shyam Delhi Dham Mandir near NH-44 are expected. The advisory focuses on safety, smoother movement, and preventing major congestion on key routes.

Khatu Shyam Mandir attracts thousands of devotees on every Ekadashi. With New Year celebrations falling the next day, authorities expect much larger crowds this time. Delhi Traffic Police wants regular commuters, commercial drivers, and pilgrims to plan trips early and stay updated about restrictions and suggested routes.

Delhi Traffic Police traffic advisory for NH-44 and Khatu Shyam Mandir

The advisory highlights that NH-44 is a major link between Delhi, its northern outskirts, and other states. Extra pressure near the temple can slow regular office movement, goods transport, and emergency services. Devotees, residents, and travellers are therefore requested to use alternative roads wherever possible during peak hours.

The most affected stretch is likely to be NH-44 between Singhu Border and Mukarba Chowk. Heavy crowd presence, roadside gatherings, and spillover parking around Khatu Shyam Delhi Dham Mandir may cause long delays. Adjoining service lanes and slip roads leading towards residential colonies and the temple are also expected to remain busy.

Delhi Traffic Police traffic advisory on diversions and NH-44 route management

Delhi Traffic Police may apply traffic diversions for commercial vehicles if congestion becomes severe. These will not be permanent, but will depend on real-time conditions. Commercial trucks and goods carriers are advised to avoid NH-44 between Singhu Border and Mukarba Chowk during peak temple timings to reduce the risk of gridlocks.

Delhi Traffic Police traffic advisory with NH-44 alternate routes

To bypass congestion, the advisory suggests several alternate corridors. UER-II Road can act as a faster bypass for vehicles heading from outer Delhi towards Rohini, Badli, or GTK Road. Palla – Bakhtawarpur Road is recommended for travellers moving towards North-West Delhi without entering NH-44 near the temple zone.

Delhi Traffic Police also notes that internal village roads may help local residents who know the area well. These smaller routes can help bypass gathering points near Khatu Shyam Mandir. Authorities stress that these internal roads are meant for locals only, to avoid extra pressure on narrow stretches.

Delhi Traffic Police traffic advisory for devotees near NH-44 temple stretch

For devotees and the general public, the advisory urges disciplined behaviour. People are asked to schedule journeys in advance and leave early to handle possible delays. Parking is discouraged on NH-44 and around temple gates because it can block lanes, slow emergency vehicles, and worsen congestion near Khatu Shyam Delhi Dham Mandir.

The advisory further recommends car-pooling, public transport, or shared rides to cut vehicle numbers on NH-44. Devotees should follow signage and instructions from on-ground police staff while approaching the mandir. People are advised to follow real-time updates from Delhi Traffic Police on official X, Facebook, and WhatsApp broadcast channels.

Authorities underline that unmanaged congestion can cause long waits for daily commuters, disturb goods movement, and create safety concerns for pedestrians and devotees. It can also reduce quick access for ambulances and other emergency services. Delhi Traffic Police therefore appeals for patience, careful planning, and cooperation so that both Ekadashi and New Year pass safely and with minimal disruption.
