Traffic congestion has significantly worsened on a 500-meter stretch between CRPF Camp Chowk and Sheetla Mata Mandir in Gurugram, Haryana, India, due to heavy vehicular movement and increased footfall during a religious fair. Residents reported that travel times have increased, disrupting connectivity between Old Gurugram sectors and Sheetla Colony. Issues such as jaywalking and poorly maintained pedestrian walkways have raised safety concerns. Local police have deployed units to manage traffic, and public advisories have been issued to restrict heavy vehicles in the area. The fair, which attracts an average of 100,000 visitors daily, has largely remained peaceful, with only two traffic jams reported since its commencement in March. To address ongoing issues, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) plans to float a ₹76 crore (approximately $9.1 million USD) tender for drainage upgrades and road improvements in the area, including pedestrian safety features.
