Commuters had a harrowing time on Friday due to traffic snarls in the national capital.

Traffic was affected in Lutyens' Delhi due to Republic Day Parade rehearsals. The situation is likely to remain the same from 8 AM to 12 noon till January 26.

"Traffic will remain affected on Rajpath Road due to Republic Day Parade rehearsals till 26th January from 8 AM to 12 PM. Kindly avoid the stretch," the Delhi Traffic Police tweeted.

Traffic was affected from Ring Road towards Bhairon road due to civic work while the road 13A between Mathura Road and Kalindi Kunj has been closed for traffic movement for close to a month owing to protests against the amended citizenship law at Shaheen Bagh and Jamia Millia Islamia.

People coming from Noida are advised to take DND or Akshardham to reach Delhi, the police said.
