Delhi Traffic Police issues an advisory for August 13, when rehearsals related to Independence Day lead to closures around the Red Fort. Several key roads in the area are scheduled to be closed to general traffic from 4:00 AM to 10:00 AM, affecting morning commuting.
Both outlets say access during the closure period is restricted, with NDTV reporting that only vehicles with valid rehearsal labels are allowed on the closed stretches. The Times of India adds operational details, noting that commercial vehicles and interstate buses face overnight and morning travel hurdles, while local buses will use alternative routes. Together, the reporting indicates delays and rerouting for public and commercial transport in the morning window.
Overall, the differing emphasis is on the rules for authorized vehicles (NDTV) versus the broader transport impacts and rerouting plans for different vehicle categories (Times of India).
