Traffic briefly halted at ITO due to Delhi BJPs protest against AAP
The Delhi unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday staged a protest near the Aam Aadmi Partys (AAP) office demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over alleged failure of his government on all the fronts.
Traffic was briefly halted at ITO on Tuesday after the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg was closed due to the Delhi BJP's protest near the AAP's office here.
The road has since been opened for traffic.
Aman Singh, a resident of east Delhi, said it took him around one hour to reach the New Delhi Railway Station.
"I was coming from Preet Vihar and going to the railway station to drop someone. Later, I found that the DDU Marg was closed. I took a right turn and went to railway station via Delhi Gate," Singh said.
The traffic was also affected in other parts of the city.
Commuters also took to Twitter saying the traffic was heavy in Janakpuri near Najafgarh drain and in some parts of Dwarka.
