The Rewari Police has made an appeal to all heavy goods/commercial vehicle drivers to avoid travelling towards Gurugram-Delhi using NH-48 during this period and use NH-352 in case of extreme necessity.

Use alternative routes

Similarly, heavy vehicles from Rewari to Delhi and Gurugram have been diverted via 75 Foota Road under the Kapriwas flyover towards Bhiwadi (Rajasthan). Therefore, heavy vehicles heading to Delhi and Gurugram should use NH-352 or other alternative routes.
