In view of the Kanwar Yatra, the Delhi-Meerut Expressway (DME) will be completely closed for general traffic from July 19 to July 23 (Shivratri). According to the order issued by the Ghaziabad administration, this ban will be applicable on a total stretch of 56 km from Kashi Toll Plaza in Meerut to UP Gate in Ghaziabad. Entry of heavy vehicles on this route will be banned from July 11, while entry of cars and other light vehicles will be banned from July 19.

The closure of this expressway connecting Delhi to Meerut, Noida and other areas will cause a lot of trouble to the people. NH-9 running parallel to the expressway will remain open for general traffic, but the traffic load on it is likely to increase. This decision of the administration has been taken to conduct the Kanwar Yatra organized every year in a safe and systematic manner. During this time, only Kanwar pilgrims will be able to walk on the expressway, while general passengers will have to go through alternative routes. Traffic Police ACP Ziauddin Ahmed said that alternative routes have been decided for the convenience of the general public.

What are the other routes?

Light vehicles coming from Meerut to Ghaziabad will come via Hapur via NH-9. Similarly, heavy vehicles coming from Ghazipur will be sent towards Meerut via Dasna and then Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE). In previous years also, common passengers had to face a lot of trouble due to similar closures and diversions during the Kanwar Yatra. Even in the year 2023, thousands of vehicles were stranded for several hours due to temporary diversion on NH-9. Most of the vehicles were diverted towards DND Flyway, Noida Expressway and EPE, causing long traffic jams.

To keep the traffic smooth during the Yatra, the police has prepared a detailed plan for Ghaziabad. Vehicles going from Baghpat towards Delhi will be sent via Tronica City and Sonia Vihar. Entry of heavy vehicles will be restricted at Loni border. At the same time, vehicles coming to Ghaziabad from Hapur and Bulandshahr will be diverted from Dasna Bridge itself.

There is a huge crowd of devotees on these three routes.

Every year during the Kanwar Yatra, lakhs of devotees bring Ganga water from Haridwar and offer it in their respective Shiva temples. Kanwar pilgrims travel on three major routes passing through Ghaziabad district. For pedestrians, Pipeline Road from Loni Border to Niwari is the main route, while postal Kanwariyas traveling at a fast speed use the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. Apart from this, NH-34 i.e. GT Road is also a popular route.
