City chokes as roads clog, suspend decongest plan

Chandigarh | Wednesday | 16th January, 2019

Summary:

Transport light point, grain market, St Kabir school light point and IT Park-Sector 26 light point were choked from 9.30am to 11am. Motorists lined up from Sector 29-Industrial Area, Phase I, light point to transport light point. Cars and motorcycles crawled from Fun Republic light point to the railway light point. Police diverted traffic towards the railway station from Panchkula, but due to the narrow stretch, traffic remained stuck there. This would have enabled the police to judge the optimal flow at a particular stretch and plan their strategy accordingly..
