Diljit Dosanjh, the Punjabi singer, kickstarted India leg of his concerts as part of his Dil-Luminati Tour in Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Saturday evening. However, fans were left restless due to the delay in the start of the concert. The event was supposed to kick off at 7:00 pm but failed to begin on time as the singer arrived late.
As the national capital was brought to a standstill with peak traffic for kilometres around the JLN Stadium, it is important to take note of traffic advisory before planning any journey today.
Delhi Traffic Police issued a travel advisory for commuters advising them to adhere to traffic restrictions effective on October 27. Commuters must keep in mind the below stated restricted and alternate routes and plan their journey accordingly during the allotted hours.
Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Delhi Traffic police said, “In view of A Live Music Concert of Diljit Doshanjh “Dil Luminati” to be held on 26 & 27/10/2024 at 07:00 PM at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi, traffic regulations will be effective.”
