With restrictions imposed in the National Captial due to G20 summit, some people are thinking it as a lockdown or a bandh.

The Delhi Police called MakeMyTrip's email to its customers as false which read that ‘Delhi Bandh Hai’ from 8-10 September. The police in a tweet on X (formerly Twitter), shared a screenshot of the email which was sent to customers and wrote ‘Delhi is not Bandh'. The Police also informed people that the movement will be restricted only in the New Delhi district.

In a post on X , the Delhi Police wrote, “The email sent out by MakeMyTrip falsely claims that Delhi is closed from September 08th to 10th, 2023. In wake of the G20 Summit, there will be restrictions in New Delhi District. We request MakeMyTrip to retract their email & issue a clarification.

Travel company MakeMyTrip's email to its customers read, “Delhi Bandh Hai. But Unique staycation properties near Delhi-NCR khule hai. We just sorted your plans for the upcoming long weekend from 8-10 September. Rejuvenate with a relaxing staycation anywhere near Delhi NCR."

However in an another tweet, Delhi Police thanked MakeMyTrip and tweeted,"Thank you,@makemytrip, for putting up our traffic advisories on your microsite and helping us disseminate the right information to make travel smooth for all in Delhi.

MakeMyTrip also replied the post and said that the email may have caused a misunderstanding and is open to misinterpretation. It wrote, “We acknowledge the concern. What our email meant was that Delhi educational institutions, banks, financial institutions, and most offices will be closed and that movement will be restricted in the New Delhi district. The email may have caused a misunderstanding and is open to misinterpretation. We are immediately sending a clarification to the same email base."
