Logistics

Getting there.

Take the metro. Roads in Central Delhi close with almost no notice on protest days, and a cab that can't move is worse than a walk.

Before you set off.

Gate closures, diversions and barricading, newest first. Station details further down are the normal picture — these override them.

Worth knowing

  • Metro is almost always faster than a cab — roads around here close without much notice.
  • Check the day's advisory before you leave. Gates at the nearest station are the first thing to get shut.
  • Carry a printed or offline copy of directions. Mobile data gets congested when crowds are large.

Worth knowing

  • The circle itself is a traffic roundabout — assembly usually happens on the footpath side.
  • If you are meeting people, pick a specific exit gate number, not just the station.

On the day

The short version.

If you read nothing else on this page.

  1. 01

    Leave earlier than you think

    Security checks and closed gates add half an hour that no route planner accounts for.

  2. 02

    Screenshot your route

    Mobile data around large gatherings is unusable. An offline screenshot always loads.

  3. 03

    Agree a meeting point, not a person

    Pick a named exit gate. 'Near the entrance' does not survive a crowd.

  4. 04

    Know your way back

    Check which station you'll leave from and whether it's the same one you arrived at. It often isn't.
