In addition to diversions, commuters pointed to the poor condition of a road stretch near Sangarmal, where a dilapidated section further restricted vehicle flow and added to the traffic buildup.
The combined impact of rerouting and road conditions resulted in long queues of vehicles across multiple junctions, affecting both public and private transport. [KNT]
