Festive rush chokes city roads, commuters stuck for hours

What's behind this

On Wednesday, Delhi’s roads were clogged with serpentine queues, gridlocked market streets and commuters inching through bottlenecks as a festive shopping rush, traffic snarls and restrictions under the GRAP added to the city’s traffic woes. Narrow, crowded stretches such as Sadar Bazar and Karol Bagh were especially affected. Meanwhile, traffic congestion in Delhi has been increasing, with even previously smooth stretches now facing frequent bottlenecks. A digital traffic simulation model and a road safety audit are being undertaken for 2,205 km of Delhi roads.
