The Pragati Maidan tunnel was closed for traffic on Monday due to congestion caused by waterlogging on the stretch, officials said.
In a tweet, the Delhi Traffic Police said, “Movement of traffic is restricted at Pragati Maidan tunnel due to waterlogging. Commuters are advised to plan their journey accordingly.”
One of the commuters on social media asked about the route to reach central Delhi. The commuter stated that every route had the same issue and asked the police to issue diversion routes.
Another stated that due to the closure of the tunnel, he had to go to Sarai Kale Khan, come back to the India Gate circle through Bhairon Marg, and then take a U-turn from Nizamuddin.
Traffic was also affected in other parts of the city, including the busy ITO intersection.
In another tweet, the traffic police said: “Traffic is affected in the carriageway from Anand Vihar towards Shamshan Ghat, Gazipur, due to waterlogging near the Gazipur underpass. Kindly avoid the stretch.”
