Ghaziabad implements traffic diversions for Yogi Adityanath's visit
Police have deployed over 2,000 personnel and restricted several routes for the Chief Minister's planned rally and foot march.
Traffic diversions in Ghaziabad came into effect at 7 am on Thursday for Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's visit to Raj Nagar Extension. According to Urban Acres, the Chief Minister is scheduled to lead a 1,400-metre foot march and address a rally as part of the BJP's 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' programme.
Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Rajkaran Naiyyar stated that more than 2,000 personnel have been deployed for the event. Various senior police officers, including assistant, additional deputy, and deputy commissioners, have been stationed at the venue and along the route.
The traffic plan includes stopping vehicle movement in both directions between Rotary Gol Chakkar and ALT. Commercial vehicles from the Diamond Flyover red light to Hapur Chungi are barred, while movement from Hindon Metro station towards Rotary Gol Chakkar is restricted. Further restrictions apply to the Karhera intersection–Nagdwara–Rotary Gol Chakkar route, and vehicles from Karan Gate and Lajpat Nagar cannot proceed towards Hindon Air Force Gol Chakkar.
The Ghaziabad police have declared the commissionerate area a temporary red zone and a no-drone zone. An order from the Additional Commissioner of Police prohibits drones, paragliders, and hot-air balloons until midnight on November 5, though organisers and media may get permission for aerial filming.
Security measures include armed teams monitoring high-rise buildings, dog squads, and bomb-disposal teams. The Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation has repaired three kilometres of road and deployed health department teams for sanitation work along the march route. Traffic restrictions will remain until the programme ends.
