Motorists had to face bumper to bumper traffic on several roads which were jam-packed in Dhaula Kuan, ITO, Daryaganj, Delhi Gate and around India Gate this morning after traffic police shut down parts of India Gate and Ring Road for the visit of Jinping to Rajghat and Hyderabad house after that.
Many of the commuters, including the office-goers, reached their destination late. Due to protests by Tibetans, a massive traffic jam was also reported from Dhaula Kuan, and motorists had to face a lot of problems.
Traffic Police had yesterday issued an advisory asking commuters to avoid Sardar Patel Marg, Dhaula Kuan and Ashoka Road as they would be closed for intermittent periods throughout the day today.
Traffic snarls were also reported on roads leading to Hyderabad House, where scores of Tibetans staged a vociferous protest and also clashed with police.
