Why it matters
Anand Vihar is the main gateway for people travelling from Delhi to Uttar Pradesh and other states to the east for Diwali and Chhath. Knowing where you cannot stop, where to park and which route to take can save a long wait in a jam on the way to a bus or train.
Anand Vihar ISBT traffic is under special curbs this festive week. The Delhi Traffic Police has put arrangements in place around the Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT) in east Delhi and nearby railway stations from 5 to 15 November 2026, The Hindu reported on Friday. The advisory covers the rush expected for Dhanteras, Diwali, Bhai Dooj and Chhath Puja, when thousands of people leave Delhi for their home towns.
Parking, waiting and halting are banned on both sides of Road No. 56 near the terminal, two main roads are likely to be affected, and drivers going towards NH-24 (National Highway 24), Sarai Kale Khan and Ghaziabad have been given alternative routes, according to the reports.
Anand Vihar ISBT traffic: roads likely to be affected
The advisory names two stretches, according to The Hindu and the Economic Times:
- Road No. 56, Chaudhary Charan Singh Marg: it links Dilshad Garden with the Ghazipur roundabout, India.com reported.
- Road No. 57, Swami Dayanand Marg: it links the Ghazipur flyover with the Shahdara flyover through Jagatpuri and Hasanpur Depot, India.com said.
Traffic diversions will be enforced at the Ghazipur roundabout and at Ramprastha in Vivek Vihar, The Hindu reported.
Alternative routes suggested by Delhi Traffic Police
| If you are going towards | The advisory suggests |
|---|---|
| NH-24, Sarai Kale Khan, Barapulla | Delhi-Dehradun Expressway via GT Road (Grand Trunk Road) |
| Ghaziabad, Dilshad Garden | Delhi-Dehradun Expressway near Akshardham via GT Road |
| Anand Vihar ISBT, by private car | Park at the designated lots on Kaushambi Road (below) and avoid driving into the ISBT area |
The traffic police has asked commuters to plan their trips, avoid entering the ISBT area unless they need to and use public transport where they can, The Hindu reported.
Parking ban on Road No. 56 and where to park near Anand Vihar ISBT
The ban on parking, waiting and halting applies to every kind of vehicle: buses, TSRs (three-wheeler scooter rickshaws), autorickshaws, taxis and private cars, according to the Economic Times. It is aimed especially at the stretches near the ISBT’s entry and exit gates and the approach roads, where vehicles stopping to drop or pick up passengers block traffic.
Private car users have been told to use two designated parking areas, The Hindu reported:
- on Kaushambi Road near the Maruti showroom;
- on Delhi Development Authority (DDA) land on Kaushambi Road near NH-24, subject to availability.
Vehicles must not be left unattended on the carriageway or approach roads. Unauthorised parking can lead to prosecution and towing, the advisory says, as quoted by The Hindu.
How long the Anand Vihar ISBT traffic curbs last
The Hindu, the Economic Times and India.com give the period as 5 to 15 November, which is 11 days by NewsPlainly’s count and covers Chhath Puja as well as Diwali. An earlier Business Today report, published on the night of 5 November, gave the end date as 11 November; the later reports read all say 15 November.

Why Anand Vihar gets so crowded before Chhath
Anand Vihar is one of Delhi’s main links to Uttar Pradesh and other states to the east, by both bus and train, the Economic Times noted. In the days before Diwali and Chhath, thousands of people are expected to travel to their home towns by bus and train, India.com reported, and the advisory is meant to stop vehicles dropping passengers from choking the roads around the terminal.
The curbs come in a week when Delhi’s air quality has worsened, with the city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) at 389 at 8 am on Friday, by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data reported by the Times of India, and the second stage of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) in force. Our report on GRAP Stage 2 explains those rules. More stories from Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) are on our Delhi NCR page, and The Hindu’s report on the advisory is here.
