How to reach the Ramlila

General recommendations

Delhi traffic police recommended public to make use of public transportation facilities such as the Delhi Metro, DTC Buses, TSRS and taxis to visit Ramlila venues.

Due to limited parking space and the anticipation of significant crowds, Delhi traffic police recommended commuters to explore alternative public transportation options.

Delhi traffic police advised commuters to refrain from visiting N.S. Marg in front of Red Fort and Chandni Chowk during late evening hours.

Delhi traffic police further recommended users of app-based taxi services or TSR to select “Chatta Rail” or “Daryaganj” as drop-off and pick-up points.
