300-km Traffic Jam To Maha Kumbh? Vehicles Reportedly Stuck For 48 Hours

Thousands of devotees heading to the Maha Kumbh are stranded on highways due to massive traffic jams stretching hundreds of kilometers on routes leading to Prayagraj. Many suggest that the queue of stranded vehicles was as long as 300 km.

Finding it difficult to manage the traffic, cops in several districts of neighbouring Madhya Pradesh have stopped vehicle movement on a route to Prayagraj. "It's impossible to go towards Prayagraj today as there is a traffic jam of 200-300 kilometres," reports quoted the police as saying.

"It is being claimed that vehicles are stuck for 48 hours. It is taking almost 10-12 hours to cover just 50 km," said a man stuck in traffic.
