In a bid to reassure the residents of Delhi, the Delhi Police took a creative approach by sharing a meme on social media, using an image from the popular South Indian movie, "Don No.1." Their message was clear: "Dear Delhiites, Don't panic at all! There is no lockdown. Just keep yourself updated with traffic information available on @dtpftraffic's Virtual Help Desk."

This proactive communication aimed to dispel any anxiety or confusion among the public and emphasized the importance of staying informed about traffic conditions, especially during the G20 Summit, through the dedicated Virtual Help Desk.

To further enhance the efficiency of traffic management and to provide real-time updates during the summit, Delhi Traffic Police has established a dedicated helpdesk. This helpdesk is poised to serve as a reliable and accessible source of up-to-the-minute traffic information for the residents of Delhi.

In preparation for the high-profile event, Delhi Police conducted full dress rehearsals on a previous Saturday, orchestrating the movement of convoys from different parts of the city toward the New Delhi district. The rehearsal timings were scheduled from 8:30 am to 12 pm, 4:30 pm to 6 pm, and 7 pm to 11 pm. Commuters were thoughtfully advised to utilize metro services during these rehearsal hours, as potential traffic disruptions were anticipated.

Delhi Police's proactive measures, including reassuring messages and traffic management preparations, are aimed at ensuring a smooth and secure environment for residents during the G20 Summit. This approach reflects their commitment to addressing concerns, providing necessary information, and minimizing inconveniences during this significant international gathering in the heart of the national capital.
