Barapullah Phase-3 gridlock snarls Delhi traffic, diversions on
Commuters on Delhi's Barapullah Phase-III and Ring Road faced severe traffic jams on Monday, 5 October. The congestion, which was not clearly shown on Google Maps, led a large number of vehicles to continue using the route, causing a bottleneck at Barapullah Junction that extended for a considerable distance.
To ease the situation, Delhi Traffic Police is diverting vehicles from Barapullah Phase-III towards NH-24 and DND. Police personnel are at the spot regulating movement. Commuters have been advised to avoid the affected stretch and use alternate routes. Authorities said taking diversions would save time and help reduce pressure on the main carriageway.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The breakdown of a real-time navigation tool like Google Maps during peak hours has amplified the congestion, because drivers had no warning before joining the jam. The police diversion to NH-24 and DND offers an escape route, but the absence of a restoration timeline means uncertainty for evening commuters. Whether the gridlock eases depends entirely on how quickly traffic disperses through the alternate corridors.
