Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Hundreds of vehicles were stuck along the 3km stretch between VIP Road and Polytechnic Square on Thursday noon. The traffic started when the commuters wrongly parked their vehicles along the VIP Road to enjoy the air drill by Indian Air Force.

Vehicles were stuck for more than 1 hour to cover the 3km patch— which usually takes 8-10 minutes by car and 12 minutes by an autorickshaw.

Some commuters, stuck at the tail of the jam, managed to take reverse and opted for an alternate route— towards Moti Masjid and Hamidia Road. But in vain, the entire square was jam packed, with vehicles queueing up on all four lanes.
A similar episode was seen on Wednesday as well, when the vehicles were parked along the VIP Road, leading to jam towards Ret Ghat Square and Polytechnic Road.
