Durga Puja Pandals Worsen Bhopal Traffic Amid Metro Construction

Durga Puja celebrations in Bhopal include temporary structures called pandals.

Some pandals have been put on roads, leaving less room for vehicles.

Many roads are already affected by metro construction or are in poor condition.

This can make traffic jams worse, especially at busy times.

Reports say cars, two-wheelers, large vehicles and ambulances have been held up.

Traffic officials have reported problems at several locations.

They are also concerned that emergency vehicles could have trouble getting through.

In Anna Nagar, a case was registered over a pandal reportedly kept after permission for one day.

The article also reports a large pandal outside the BMC office that is restricting vehicle movement.
