Heavy traffic congestion was also reported in several parts of south Delhi. One of the commuters posted on social media that they were stuck in a traffic jam on MB Road for two hours.<\/p>\n
Some commuters who opted for metro complained of long queues at the stations due to heightened security checks ahead of Republic Day.<\/p>\n
A user posted a video on X showing a long queue at the metro station and said, “Delhi metro please we can’t afford it in that peak time please. We are using Delhi metro to avoid traffic. This is the peak hour to travel for a corporate life. We all know that 26th January (Republic Day) is near but we can’t afford it in that time. @OfficialDMRC .” The Delhi Police had earlier said issued a traffic advisory and stated that special traffic arrangements have were made for four days in order to facilitate the uninterrupted movement of Parade on Kartavyapath.<\/p>\n
