300-km Traffic Jam To Maha Kumbh? Vehicles Reportedly Stuck For 48 Hours

Prayagraj:

Thousands of devotees heading to the Maha Kumbh are stranded on highways due to massive traffic jams, reportedly spanning hundreds of kilometers, on routes leading to Prayagraj. Reports suggest the queue of stranded vehicles stretches up to 300 km.

Days after Basant Panchmi’s Amrit Snan, there were assumptions that the crowds may drop. However, it now looks like just the opposite, as thousands of people continue to head to Prayagraj for the holy dip.

A motorist, however, told NDTV the traffic jam could be linked to navigation maps, people choosing the same options, and bottlenecks in entering and exiting Prayagraj. He said he returned from the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj to Lucknow in five hours.
