A jam of up to 25 km was reported on routes leading to Prayagraj from Varanasi, Lucknow and Kanpur. Prayagraj: Thousands of devotees heading to the Maha Kumbh are stranded on highways due to massive traffic jams, reportedly stretching hundreds of kilometres, on routes leading to Prayagraj.
Reports say the queue of stranded vehicles stretches up to 300 km. Days after Basant Panchmi’s Amrit Snan, it was perceived that crowds could drop. It now appears like just the opposite as thousands head to Prayagraj for the holy dip.
Finding it difficult to manage the traffic, the police in several districts of neighbouring Madhya Pradesh have stopped vehicle movement on a route to Prayagraj. “It’s impossible to go towards Prayagraj today as there is a traffic jam of 200-300 kilometres,” reports quoted the police as saying.
