Delhi traffic jam

A massive traffic jam was witnessed near Delhi’s ITO Chowk, Raj Ghat, and Vikas Marg on Friday morning as the roads leading to BJP headquarters and ED office were shut due to AAP’s protest over the arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, PTI reported.

AAP leaders and supporters are protesting at the ITO intersection, near the AAP and BJP headquarters at the DDU Marg here. Police officials were asking protestors to disperse in view of prohibitory orders under Section 144 imposed in the area.

The police have put up barricades on roads leading to DDU Marg and shut several roads for vehicular movement in central Delhi.

As the roads leading to ED office were also shut, the traffic police advised commuters to avoid Krishna Menon Marg, Motilal Nehru Marg, Janpath, and Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road.
