Chennai Roads and Metro Shut for Independence Day Parade: Traffic Diversions in Force from 6 AM

Why this matters to Tamil Nadu

Traffic diversions affect tens of thousands of Chennai residents who need to travel through central areas on Independence Day morning — for work, medical appointments, catching trains, or reaching the ceremony itself. Advance knowledge of the diversion routes prevents wasted time and frustration. The diversions are a necessary coordination measure to ensure the security and smooth conduct of the state's most important annual civic ceremony.
