Massive traffic jam leaves Bangaloreans stuck for hours; Twitter flooded with reactions

Bengaluru, the IT hub of India, is notoriously known for its ugly traffic scenes. The citizens often find themselves stuck in traffic congestion for hours while trying to navigate the city’s chaotic roads. Despite the administration making numerous efforts to manage the city’s traffic, it seems the issue has no solution to it. One such challenging situation recently left hundreds of Bangaloreans in a chaotic state. A truck collision that caused a massive tree to fall on the Outer Ring Road (ORR) left a nightmarish traffic jam on Tuesday morning. As a result, commuters had to wait in long queues on the roads, and were further forced to abandon their vehicles or return home.

A few were also spotted logging in to their systems and starting to work as they were not able to reach their workplaces on time. Many also took to Twitter and vented their frustration and disappointment with the administration’s failure in managing the traffic crisis.
