Planning travel in Chandigarh on November 26 requires careful attention to traffic advisories, as a major farmers’ rally organized by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) will lead to extensive road diversions. The event marks the fifth anniversary of the 2020 ‘Delhi Chalo’ agitation and is expected to gather over 10,000 farmers in Sector 43. Chandigarh Police are actively managing the situation with significant security deployments, including over 1,000 personnel in the Sector 43 area, which has been designated as the rally venue. Commuters should be aware that several key roads will experience restricted movement or diversions for the entire day. Specifically, the route from Kajheri Chowk to the Sector 42/43 Small Chowk, and extending to Attawa Chowk, is highly affected. Furthermore, diversions will be in operation from the Sector 43/44 light point through the Judicial Academy light point, concluding at the Sector 42/43 Small Chowk. The SKM’s rally is one of many nationwide events planned for today. Citizens are strongly advised to consult alternative routes and allow for extra travel time to navigate the city smoothly amidst these traffic adjustments.
