Indore Faces Traffic Disruptions from Unauthorised Digging and Infrastructure Work

Indore is experiencing significant traffic disruptions due to multiple factors including unauthorised road digging for gas and water pipelines, ongoing bridge construction, and metro work. Unnotified excavation at Chanakyapuri Square caused severe gridlock, with vehicles stuck in soft mud and narrow passages. Additionally, road narrowing and barricades at key junctions like Niranjanpur and Vijay Nagar squares have increased commute times. Authorities have intervened to address some issues, but congestion persists in several areas.
