Prayagraj: Thousands of pilgrims attending the Maha Kumbh Mela found themselves stuck in hours-long traffic congestion, causing massive disruptions in movement. The heavy influx of devotees has led to severe traffic jams, with vehicles barely moving for extended periods.
Social media users have dubbed the situation as the “world’s biggest traffic jam,” sharing videos and images of overcrowded roads and stranded pilgrims. Many complained about poor traffic management, while authorities are struggling to ease the gridlock.
Police and traffic officials are making efforts to regulate the movement of vehicles and control the crowds. However, the overwhelming number of pilgrims has made it challenging to manage the situation. Officials have assured that additional measures are being taken to improve traffic flow and ensure a smoother pilgrimage experience.
