The Delhi Police on Monday issued a traffic advisory on Sunday, informing commuters about the closure of a section of the Delhi-Jaipur Highway (NH-48) between Rangpuri and Rajokari for 90 days. The road stretch has been closed to facilitate construction work related to the Dwarka Expressway. As per the Delhi Police advisory, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is constructing the Dwarka Expressway under the Bharat Mala Project from Dwarka Link Road near Shiv Murti on the National Highway.
