"Take the metro instead of driving if you want to avoid traffic and pollution on your way to holiday markets, see family and friends, or just look around the city." "Let's make this holiday season easy and eco-friendly for everyone," it said.

On Tuesday night, traffic jams were recorded all over Delhi because so many people went to the markets to celebrate Dhanteras.

Many places had a lot of traffic, like the Badarpur bridge, CV Raman Marg, Punjabi Bagh, Badarpur Mehrauli Road, Taimur Nagar-Maharani Bagh Road, Ashram, and Yamuna Vihar.

But the Delhi Police said they had made a lot of plans to make sure traffic went smoothly.

"We sent people out on bikes to check the encroachment on busy roads that could cause traffic jams in the area." One cop told the news agency, "People who are going to the markets have also been told to park their cars in a certain spot."

People who work there have loud speakers on their bikes to help traffic move. Vehicles that aren't going anywhere aren't allowed to enter the national capital. There has also been a constant effort to stop people from encroaching in crowded areas, the cop said.
