Why dignitary visits to Rajghat choke ITO & key corridors

The article explains how visits by foreign leaders to pay respects at Rajghat (Mahatma Gandhi's memorial) in Delhi cause severe traffic jams in key areas like ITO. These visits trigger strict security measures that block main roads, often with little warning, leaving commuters stuck for hours.

However, the article notes that a recent visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin was handled differently.

The piece suggests this better planning could be a model for future visits to reduce public inconvenience.
