"While vehicle breakdowns were reported at the Azad Market chowk, Ghazipur, ITO and Janakpuri, a vehicle caught fire at Dabri Mor, worsening the jams," said a senior traffic police officer. Tailbacks were reported along arterial roads, including Ring Road, Outer Ring Road, Vikas Marg, Mathura Road, Aurobindo Road, Bhishma Pitamah Marg, NH-24 and ITO.
Stretches between Ghazipur and Anand Vihar, Mukarba Chowk and Rohini, Janakpuri and Pankha road, ITO and Tilak Marg remained choked, said cops.
Sarojini Nagar, Karol Bagh, Chandni Chowk, Sadar Bazar, Rajouri Garden, South Extension and Lajpat Nagar proved to be a nightmare for commuters, who either turned back without gaining entry to the areas or remained stuck inside the market for hours due to heavy congestion on all surrounding roads. A large number of cars were found illegally parked opposite the Lodhi cemetery on Mathura Road, which triggered jams up to Moolchand in the afternoon, said commuters. "There was absolutely no parking available in most marketplaces. Public transport is a much better option due to shortage of parking space. We have issued many challans for illegal parking, especially near Diwali melas," said the traffic cop.
The situation was equally bad in Noida and other surrounding areas. Though traffic police worked overtime, especially in market areas, snarls marred Diwali festivities in Noida.
The district administration has set up a control room to deal with medical and burn emergencies. Traffic policemen and several home guards have been deputed across the city.
"Our officers are out on the roads to streamline traffic movement," said M P Singh, superintendent of police (traffic), adding that they had requested market associations to pitch in. "Cranes have been deputed to tow away vehicles parked wrongly," Singh said. "People park their vehicles on the roadside. This slows down traffic and people tend to blame police. We have limited resources," Singh said.
The Noida police have been put on high alert. Extra cops have been deployed to keep an eye out for anything fishy. Women cops will patrol unsafe areas to prevent eve-teasing.
The Gautam Budh Nagar district administration will also been on high alert. According to the additional district magistrate, several beds have been set aside for patients to deal with emergencies. "A special team of doctors is on standby to deal with any medical emergencies," said the ADM.
A control room has also been set up at the district hospital in Sector 30. "In case of burns or any other medical emergency, people can call at 0120-3450154 or 9582793059 for immediate help," the official said.
