Traffic jam at Gurugram-Delhi border

Tribune News Service

Gurugram, November 27

Massive traffic chaos gripped the expressway here on the second consecutive day owing to heavy barricading of the Delhi-Gurugram Sirhaul border.

A two-hour jam threw traffic out of gear as the vehicles that stood lined up at the border were allowed entry only after thorough check.

Taking no chances, the Gururgam police had deployed 900 personnel on 13 borders connecting the city to Delhi, Nuh, Rajasthan, Rewari, Sohna and Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) expressway.

In all, 125 barricades had been put around the borders, with Sirhaul being the worst hit. The suspension of metro services and public transport services to Delhi added to the woes.

“The traffic congestion eased towards the evening. For the past two days, we are trying to maintain peace and keep the city unaffected by the protest. We had and are still appealing to the people not to head to Delhi till it is urgent,” said CP KK Rao.
