Closure of key stretches in Delhi’s southern parts for repair and construction works led to traffic snarls for the fifth consecutive day of the week on Thursday as commuters faced a harrowing time to reach their destination. Besides, there are several stretches where commuters face traffic snarls every day. The stretch between Anand Vihar to Shahdara border and Marginal Pusta Bund road connecting Shastri Park to Khajuri Chowk are nightmares for commuters due to ongoing construction works.
