Around 14,000 wedding ceremonies that are scheduled over the weekend are likely to play havoc with traffic.
The Delhi Traffic Police said it will be deploying extra personnel at Chhattarpur, Mehrauli, and Delhi-Gurgaon road — hubs for banquet halls and farmhouses.
“We will seek the help of the local police in traffic management. They will be assisting the traffic police in issuing challans and ensuring that vehicles are parked properly,” said Garima Bhatnagar, Joint Commissioner of Police (traffic).
Traffic police officials said they have held meetings with banquet hall and farmhouse owners, asking them to deploy their staff to ensure that vehicles do not block traffic.
In certain high rush zones, diversions have already been put in place.
“The wedding rush started on Friday because of Akshaya Tritiya, which is considered to be an auspicious day. Saturday and Sunday will also be busy for us,” a senior traffic official said.
