The most affected areas included India Gate and ITO.
A commuter reported heavy traffic on Ring Road near the ITO loop and IP Extension. “I was heading to ITO when I encountered heavy congestion on Ring Road. Vikas Marg was also severely crowded, forcing us to take a U-turn near the IP Extension metro station,” he shared.
Vehicles were also seen crawling near the Shivaji Stadium metro station, close to Connaught Place in central Delhi.
