G20 Summit: Curbs Come Into Force In Delhi, Cops Urge People To Use Metro

On Friday morning, stringent traffic restrictions were implemented in the New Delhi district, and internet delivery services—aside from prescription drugs—have been prohibited in the region where the G20 summit venue and delegate hotels are situated, according to officials.

Due to the summit, the New Delhi district will be a controlled zone-I from Friday at 5 a.m. to Sunday at 11:59 p.m.

The police have warned individuals against picnicking, biking, or walking along Kartavya Path and India Gate.
The movement of vehicles is restricted in the New Delhi district, but police said ambulances, locals, and visitors staying there will be allowed to travel with correct identification.

In response to a request from Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora, the Delhi Metro has decided to begin its services on September 8, 9, and 10 at 4 a.m. from terminal stations on all of the network’s lines.

According to officials, over 50,000 people have been deployed, along with dog squads and mounted police, to maintain a hawk-eye vigil throughout the meeting.

In light of India Gate and Kartavya Path being in the “controlled zone,” Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic) S S

Yadav stated that the Delhi Police is pleading with people not to visit the area for “walking, cycling, or picnicking” during the G20 Summit.

All of Delhi will be open to essential services, including postal and medical services, as well as sample collection by pathological labs, he said.
