Traffic Snarls Cause Major Delays on Mohali and Kharar-Chandigarh Highway
Traffic congestion severely affected Mohali and the Kharar-Chandigarh highway on Tuesday, with vehicles stuck for over an hour from Desumajra to Phase-6. Causes included intermittent rain, waterlogging, poor lane discipline, faulty traffic signals, ongoing construction, and protests by PRTC employees reducing bus services. The gridlock impacted commuters, emergency vehicles, and increased cab fares. Alternative routes also experienced heavy traffic, prompting advisories for travelers to check traffic conditions before departure.
