A Delhi Traffic Police officer said the movement is likely to be affected in parts of New Delhi and Central Delhi due to the protest.
"Robust security arrangements have been made. We have installed layers of security to maintain law and order in the area," the Delhi Police officer said.
"Section 144 (of the CrPC) is already imposed around the Prime Minister's residence and no one will be allowed to protest," he added.
Delhi Minister Gopal Rai had earlier announced plans to "gherao" the Prime Minister's residence on Tuesday to protest against Mr. Kejriwal's arrest.
