Delhi witnessed massive traffic jams on Friday evening as people rushed for Diwali shopping. Major intersections like Moolchand, ITO, Chanakyapuri and Teen Murti Marg saw long queues of vehicles. Heavy congestion was also reported on the Delhi-Gurugram route and near Okhla and IFFCO Chowk. The Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory urging people to avoid peak-hour travel and use navigation apps for updates. Officials said ongoing road repair work has worsened delays. To handle the rush, police have cancelled all traffic personnel’s leaves and deployed extra staff across the city to manage movement and prevent bottlenecks.
