Starting on September 8, the majority of businesses and newspaper offices along the highways leading to ITO have implemented a three-day total shutdown.
A G20 virtual assistance desk was also established by the government to offer real-time traffic alerts to prevent traffic jams. “Non-destined traffic and unauthorized vehicles will not be allowed to enter into New Delhi District. However, movement of medical emergency vehicles will be facilitated throughout Delhi,” a traffic advisory by Delhi police on the morning of September 8 said.
Another message stated that starting at 9 p.m. on September 7, the entry of goods vehicles into Delhi from across borders had been suspended. Only cars carrying essential commodities, including as milk, vegetables, fruits, medical supplies, etc., would be permitted admission.
