Hyderabad Vijayawada highway traffic jam causes chaos before Dasara
Hyderabad: Thousands of people heading to their hometowns for the Dasara festival created massive traffic jam on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada highway on Saturday. The sudden surge of traffic left vehicles stranded for kilometers near Hayathnagar. RTC buses, private cars, and other vehicles moved at a snail’s pace due to the rush.
Adding to the crisis, continuous heavy rains worsened road conditions. At Abdullapurmet mandal’s Gourelli, floodwaters overflowed from a bridge, halting vehicle movement. Authorities set up barricades and issued warnings to local residents to remain alert.
