Massive traffic congestion in Gariahat

BY A STAFF REPORTER: There was massive traffic congestion leading to a huge tail of vehicles along the Gariahat flyover on Tuesday morning. The traffic congestion started around 8.40 AM and local residents and motorists reported that it took around half an hour for vehicles to cross the vantage point.

According to information made available to ANM News by officers of the local traffic guard, hap hazard movement of cars and parking in and around a school in the area led to the congestion.

``The school reopened and we could not anticipate such a mess. Our officers were there near the school but it was difficult to manage," a senior traffic police officer of South East traffic guard told ANM News. Locals complained that traffic stood bumper to bumper all over the northern flank of the flyover.
