The decision has been taken in coordination with the Delhi Police. The heavy vehicles planning to enter Delhi will not be allowed in Gurugram because these usually halt at borders and lead to traffic and security concerns.

The closure will be imposed at three border points in Gurugram district and 12 in Ghaziabad for the full-dress rehearsal of Republic Day Parade.

In Gurugram, the restrictions will be in effect from 10 pm on January 22 to 1.30 pm on January 23 and 10 pm on January 25 to 1.30 pm on January 26. Commercial vehicles can use the Eastern Peripheral expressway or the KMP expressway.
