Commuters bore the brunt of the protests, which created gridlocks across major roads. Vehicles were left stranded for significant time while traffic and city police officials struggled to manage the situation.
Adding to the chaos were vehicles parked on the sides of already congested roads, further complicating the task of controlling the crowd.
A traffic official from Dispur Police Station told GPlus, “The situation worsened due to the protest, but it will get better soon.”
The incident highlights the recurring challenges of balancing public demonstrations and maintaining smooth traffic flow in the city.
