A rally for two senior BJP leaders in Indore on Tuesday caused severe congestion on Rajwada to MG Road, halting traffic for hours.
A political rally was organised in Indore on Tuesday to welcome two senior leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party. The procession moved through the city’s central area, starting from Rajwada and extending to MG Road and adjoining streets.
The gathering, coupled with barricades set up along the route, snarled traffic for several hours. Commuters reported long queues of vehicles, with some motorists stranded for up to three hours as the rally progressed.
Local businesses and shoppers were also affected, as the congestion hampered access to nearby markets and shops. Authorities were seen managing the crowd, but the disruption highlighted the challenges of balancing political events with urban mobility in a busy commercial hub.
