Jantar Mantar Road Reopens After Two Decades, Traffic Flow Resumes

Significant Relief for Delhi Residents

New Delhi: Residents of the capital have received encouraging news. After a lengthy wait of nearly 20 years, Jantar Mantar Road has finally been fully opened to regular traffic. The Delhi police have removed the heavy barricades that had been in place for an extended period. Consequently, vehicle movement on this road has returned to normal.

Removal of Barricades by Delhi Police

For several years, heavy barricading had been installed at Jantar Mantar due to security concerns. This had affected the flow of traffic connecting Ashok Road to Tolstoy Marg. Drivers were forced to take alternative and longer routes.

Following a review of the peaceful atmosphere and security arrangements in the capital, the Delhi police decided to remove the barricades. This road has now been completely opened after almost two decades.

Why Was Jantar Mantar Road Closed?

Jantar Mantar has been one of the key sites for protests in the country, hosting various social, political, and public interest movements for a long time. Due to this, barricading and checkpoints were established in the area for security reasons.

Recently, Jantar Mantar was de-notified from the official list of protest sites, but security agencies had continued to maintain checkpoints as a precaution.

A Major Relief for Drivers

With the reopening of the road, daily commuters using this route can expect significant relief. The connection between Ashok Road and Tolstoy Marg will now be much easier, allowing people to avoid alternative routes and unnecessary detours.

The removal of barricades from Jantar Mantar Road is seen as a major change in terms of traffic and security management in Delhi.
