Delhi Police Issue Traffic Advisory Near JLN Stadium for Diljit Dosanjh Concert
Delhi Traffic Police have announced widespread traffic restrictions and diversions around Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Friday ahead of singer Diljit Dosanjh's concert. The curbs will remain in place from 1:00 pm until midnight to manage movement for the 'Aura India Tour 2026' concert, with authorities identifying six primary diversion points and preparing two additional points for activation if required.
According to the traffic advisory, vehicular movement will be affected along several key corridors, including Bhishm Pitamah Marg, Lodhi Road, Arch Bishop Marg, 4th Avenue Road, and 5th Avenue Road. Lala Lajpat Rai Marg between Defence Colony and the Lodhi Colony Flyover will also face restrictions.
Additional curbs have been designated on the Barapullah Flyover stretch connecting INA to Jangpura Metro Gate 2, along with Dayal Singh College Road and internal sector routes inside the CGO Complex and Lodhi Colony. At the Lodhi Road-Dayal Singh College Road intersection, vehicles will be prohibited from entering Dayal Singh College Road, while traffic travelling on Lodhi Road will continue toward the Lodhi Flyover or Aurobindo Marg. Diversions will also be enforced at intersections across Lala Lajpat Rai Marg and Bhishm Pitamah Marg to control access toward the stadium.
To minimise congestion, the traffic police have advised concert-goers to travel via the Delhi Metro. Attendees heading to Gates 13, 14, and 17 have been asked to deboard at JLN Stadium or Jangpura stations on the Violet Line. Those heading to designated drop-off points for Gates 3, 6, and 8 have been directed to use the INA or Jor Bagh stations on the Yellow Line.
Police confirmed that no public parking will be permitted at or around the stadium complex. Parking facilities for invitees have been arranged at the Sunehri Pula Bus Depot and Dayal Singh College, while commercial taxis and auto-rickshaws must operate strictly from assigned pick-up and drop-off zones. General commuters travelling through the area have been urged to plan extra travel time, follow personnel instructions, and avoid roadside parking.
