Delhi commuters were subjected to excruciating traffic jams due to the closure of the Nehru Place-IIT carriageway on the Chirag Delhi flyover for 50 days, while a large stretch of the NH 48 (Delhi-Jaipur Highway) between Rangpuri and Rajokari has been closed for 90 days due to the construction of the Dwarka Expressway leaving vehicles stuck on the road for hours.
Keshav Kumar, a trader, said, “The situation in the south and southeast Delhi area is the same. I came from Noida and thought that the Ashram flyover will give relief, but had no idea about the bumper-to-bumper traffic in Chirag Delhi. Now, I have to go to Gurugram and I am planning to take the metro due to the traffic situation.”
