Noida Traffic Alert: Diversions Announced For Chhath Puja 2025 Celebrations

With thousands of devotees expected to gather along riverbanks and water bodies for Chhath Puja, the Noida Traffic Police has announced temporary traffic diversions across multiple routes in the Gautam Buddh Nagar district. The measures, effective from October 27 to October 28, 2025, aim to ensure public safety, smooth traffic flow, and easy access to puja sites during one of the most significant festivals in North India. 

Mass Gatherings Expected Across Key Ghats

Chhath Puja, celebrated with great devotion in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and parts of Delhi-NCR, sees large congregations near rivers, ponds, and lakes where devotees offer prayers to the Sun God. Anticipating a heavy rush of pilgrims and vehicles, the authorities have put in place special arrangements near ghats and traffic-heavy stretches in Noida, including the Yamuna River (Kalindi Kunj), Hindon River Bridge at Kuleshra, Chotpur/Bahlopur Sector-63, and the Noida Stadium at Sector 21A.

According to officials, heavy, medium, and light cargo vehicles will face temporary restrictions and diversions during this period. However, medical and fire service vehicles will be exempted to ensure that emergency response systems remain unaffected.
