With US President Barack Obama scheduled to address a gathering at the Siri Fort auditorium in the city, the Delhi Traffic Police on Tuesday advised commuters to steer clear of the August Kranti Marg and its adjoining areas in South Delhi.

The police have also advised citizens to avoid route from Dhaula Kuan to the Indira Gandhi International Airport in the afternoon.
