New Delhi, Sep 5 (SocialNews.XYZ) Significant traffic congestion gripped Delhi's ITO area on Tuesday as security measures have intensified in the national capital ahead of the G20 Summit later this week.

Several commutters took to Twitter blaming police for the mismanagement of traffic.
“@dtptraffic please please arrange traffic mismanagement in the whole Patel Nagar area ? Please advise whether people should use roads or not ? Every day we are stacked ?,” twitterati Rana Pratap posted on X

“@dtptraffic We are virtually stranded on NH 9 near Akshardham for the last one hour. Any special reason as I doubt Delhi police not aware of this jam prolonging for so long. Please help,” Ashish Kumar wrote on X.
