On Tuesday, Hyderabad residents encountered a significant traffic congestion comparable to the notorious jams witnessed in China. Cars were stuck in lengthy queues stretching for kilometers, resulting in hours of delay. This event underscores the growing traffic challenges in Hyderabad and emphasizes the need for urban planners to revisit transportation systems, including improving public transportation and expanding road networks, to prevent future occurrences.
Extensive traffic congestion extended for kilometers in central Hyderabad, Secunderabad, and the IT hubs of Madhapur and Gachibowli. Gridlocks stretched from the Raidurgam Biodiversity junction to IKEA and various segments along the IT corridor. Concurrently, certain parts of the state have been facing severe heatwave conditions for several days, with temperatures in certain areas exceeding 46 degrees Celsius.
