The city roads witnessed severe traffic congestion, especially around the northern sectors, after the conclusion of the first day of the Air Show jointly held by the UT Administration and the Indian Air Force (IAF) at Sukhna Lake on Wednesday. The show began at 4 pm and concluded around 5.20 pm.
The movement on some roads and roundabouts were already restricted in view of the arrival of the Governors of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, who were in the UT to attend the Air Show.
Thousands of people, including those who came from the neighbouring states to watch the air show, preferred to walk to the lake after parking their vehicles around 2-km away. The entry for general public was allowed from the side of Kishangarh village only.
