Long traffic jams in Ahmedabad due to crowds in flower and vegetable markets

Heavy crowds of people flocked to the flower market and Jamalpur vegetable market in Ahmedabad for festival shopping, leading to traffic jam situations for hours in the city's main areas. According to a report by Sandesh, customers reached the markets in large numbers to purchase flowers for puja and vegetables for household use.

There was a crowd of people in the flower market to purchase flowers such as roses and marigolds, while in the Jamalpur vegetable market, movement on the roads became difficult due to vehicles of customers and wholesale traders. The main roads became narrow due to two-wheelers parked haphazardly on the roadside, carts, and pedestrians. Due to this chaos, the movement of vehicles came to a standstill on the roads leading towards Jamalpur bridge and Gita Mandir.

Due to the traffic jam, people going to work and emergency vehicles such as ambulances remained stuck for a long time. Long lines of two-wheelers, four-wheelers, and city buses were seen on the road. To tackle this traffic problem and control the situation, traffic police teams were deployed at the scene.
