Independence Day 2025: Delhi To Bar Goods Vehicles At Noida Border On August 15, Alternate Routes Out

With Independence Day 2025 around the corner, authorities in Delhi-NCR are stepping up security and traffic regulations, especially around high-security zones like the Red Fort. Full dress rehearsals on August 13 and celebrations on August 15 will lead to major road closures and traffic diversions, affecting daily commuters across the region.

In a recent advisory, Noida Traffic Police announced that the entry of commercial goods vehicles - including heavy, medium, and light - from Gautam Buddh Nagar to Delhi will be strictly prohibited. This restriction will be in effect from 10:00 PM on August 12 until the end of the full dress rehearsal on August 13, and again from 10:00 PM on August 14 until the conclusion of the Independence Day parade on August 15.

Authorities urge commuters to plan ahead, use public transport, and stay updated with traffic alerts to avoid inconvenience during the high-security period.
