Diwali Festive Rush Causes Traffic Congestion in Delhi, Noida, and Greater Noida
Heavy traffic congestion affected Delhi, Noida, and Greater Noida ahead of Diwali, with commuters facing long delays and bumper-to-bumper movement across major roads and intersections. In Delhi, congestion was reported on key flyovers, arterial roads, and commercial areas, while Noida and Greater Noida experienced severe traffic due to festive rush, ongoing repair work on the Noida Elevated Road, and enforcement drives at border points. Traffic diversions and peak-hour volumes further contributed to the gridlock in both regions.
