Deadly traffic jam paralyzes Indore for 32 hours
A 32-hour traffic jam on the Indore-Dewas highway turned tragic, with three people losing their lives.
The chaos started when ongoing construction and heavy rains forced all vehicles onto a narrow service road, leaving thousands stuck with no way out until Friday night.
TL;DR
Weather alerts had warned of heavy rain
The jam proved fatal for Sandeep Patel (32), who suffered a heart attack while trying to get to the hospital, and for Kamal Panchal (62) and Balram Patel (55), who didn't survive after being stranded for hours.
Weather alerts had already warned of heavy rain and possible disruptions in Indore, but the combination of waterlogging and poor planning made things much worse.
