Delhi-Gurugram commuters stranded for hours in traffic jam

Delhi Police are feeling the heat over the traffic chaos that erupted on Thursday on the National Highway 8, which left hundreds of commuters stranded for many hours on the arterial road connecting Delhi and Gurugram.

Delhi Police put up makeshift barricades on one side of the stretch from Gurugram to Delhi at Rajokari border on Delhi-Gurugram expressway and just one lane was open to physically check each and every vehicle coming in.

According to M.S. Randhawa, Delhi Police PRO, the force received intelligence on planned protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act early this morning and it did not have ample time to undertake publicity measures informing people about the barricading and traffic restrictions on the Delhi-Gurugram border.

Delhi traffic police said the barricades were put in place at around 5 a.m. on the Delhi-Gurugram border. Due to this, heavy vehicles were also stuck leading to a massive traffic jam of up to 8 to 10 kms.
