Delhi Traffic Police gave no warning
Even though the VIP route was planned in advance, Delhi Traffic Police didn't give any early warning.
People took to social media to vent and share photos of the chaos.
Officials later said a miscommunication during the dignitaries' return led to a sudden 20-minute halt on roads connecting the Mathura Road, making things even worse.
It took hours for traffic to get back to normal, leaving many asking for better planning next time.
