Delhi's Ashram Flyover has been blocked to traffic in both directions for many days, making it difficult for commuters to get to their destinations. The Delhi Traffic has issued a new advice, advising commuters to avoid the Ashram overpass region and find other routes.
Since traffic congestion was most noticeable during rush hour, the company said it had pinpointed the most important intersections and established sufficient traffic lights and signs.
