Ghaziabad Reserves DME Lane for Kanwariyas Amid Traffic Diversion

23 Jul 2025 CW Team

“The Meerut-to-Delhi carriageway of the DME will be reserved for Kanwariyas from 10pm on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Delhi-to-Meerut carriageway will only allow light vehicles such as cars and two-wheelers. Heavy vehicles will remain prohibited during this diversion,” said Sacchidanand, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic).

Officials stated that this arrangement will continue until the Kanwar Yatra concludes, likely by 23 or 24 July, due to the anticipated surge of Dak Kanwars arriving in Ghaziabad in the coming days.

Traffic from Meerut will be diverted to National Highway-9, with restrictions on heavy vehicles along the three Kanwar routes — announced on 11 July — remaining in effect.

In Ghaziabad, the Kanwar route covers 25 km from Muradnagar to Tila Morh and 42.5 km from the Kadrabad border to the Delhi-Ghaziabad border, along with an additional stretch of approximately 53 km on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway and NH-9.

As part of these restrictions, heavy vehicles are permitted to enter NH-9 from UP Gate and proceed to their destinations via the Eastern Peripheral Expressway.

“The traffic restrictions on the Delhi-Meerut Road will remain as announced. The Meerut-to-Ghaziabad carriageway is reserved exclusively for Kanwariyas, while the Ghaziabad-to-Meerut carriageway will handle regular two-way traffic. Additionally, 12 traffic pressure points have been identified where extra personnel and teams have been deployed to ensure smooth movement,” the ADCP said.

The 12 identified pressure points include Raj Chopla in Modinagar, Ganga Canal T-point, ALT Crossing, Ghookhna Morh, Meerut tri-crossing, New Link Road cut, U-turn near Hindon Metro station, Hindon-Kanwani cut, Mohan Nagar, among others.

“At these points, where vehicular traffic intersects with Kanwariya movement, regular traffic will be temporarily halted to allow Kanwariyas to pass safely. Normal traffic will resume immediately after,” officials added.

The Ghaziabad traffic police will close the Meerut-to-Delhi carriageway of the Delhi-Meerut Expressway (DME) from 10pm on Saturday, reserving the lane exclusively for Kanwariyas returning from Uttarakhand.“The Meerut-to-Delhi carriageway of the DME will be reserved for Kanwariyas from 10pm on Saturday.
