BRICS Summit Shuts Delhi Down on Sept 11: Schools, Govt Offices to Stay Closed as Traffic Curbs Tighten
Delhi authorities said schools and government offices will close as traffic police prepare diversions and motorcade routes for about 30 BRICS countries' delegates.
- On Friday, September 11, 2026, Delhi will close all schools and government offices to facilitate security and logistics for the upcoming BRICS Summit.
- The BRICS Summit, scheduled at Bharat Mandapam from September 11 to 13, requires extensive security and motorcade movements that prompted officials to mandate closures reducing weekday traffic pressure.
- Delhi Traffic Police are managing movement across more than 35 roads and 22 diversion points. Additional Commissioner of Police Vijayanta Goyal Arya said, "Particular attention is also being given to inter-state border points and other locations witnessing pile-up of vehicles."
- The Public Works Department began beautification works near key locations including Rajghat and Qutub Minar as the summit expects participation from leaders and representatives of around 30 BRICS member and partner countries.
- As September 12 and 13 fall on Saturday and Sunday, traffic pressure should decrease, allowing smoother logistical management following the Friday closures.
