15 Jan
Summary
- Three major events on Thursday cause significant traffic diversions.
- Army Day events and Jaipur Literature Festival create congestion.
- Traffic suspended on Mahal Road; SMS Stadium area restricted.
Jaipur faces extensive traffic diversions today, January 15, 2026, as three significant events unfold simultaneously across the city. The Army Day Parade on Mahal Road, an Army event known as Shaurya Sandhya at SMS Stadium, and the commencement of the Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) on JLN Marg are expected to cause considerable congestion on major routes, including JLN Marg and Tonk Road.
Authorities have announced specific traffic restrictions to manage the flow of VVIPs and attendees. Vehicle movement on Mahal Road between NRI Chouraha and Bombay Hospital will be suspended from early morning until noon. In the evening, the SMS Stadium vicinity will experience traffic limitations around Shaurya Sandhya, with restrictions in place from 4pm to 5pm and again from 7pm to 8pm.
Anticipating heavy traffic, especially on JLN Marg due to the combined impact of SMS Stadium diversions and the JLF, a detailed traffic plan has been released. Officials emphasize that stopping on the main stretch of JLN Marg will be prohibited, with service roads designated for passenger pick-ups and drop-offs. Designated parking areas have also been arranged near Hotel Clarks Amer.
