On a day East-West Metro started its commercial operations from Sealdah to Sector V with the promise of easing commute woes for many, there was chaos outside most stations in Salt Lake.
Many alleged police had no proper exit plan for the passengers.
Cycle-rickshaw stands cropped up here and there and autos were parked all over outside the Sector V and City Centre stations, resulting in congestion in areas where there was none.
Traffic was affected around the Wipro intersection in Sector V, a stone’s throw from the Sector V Metro station, because autos and rickshaws stopped in the middle of the Salt Lake Bypass, which connects Sector V with EM Bypass, to pick up passengers emerging from the station.
