Where time stands still

Delhi is in a constant state of flux. But one thing that never changes is the chaos on its roads.

Last week, several HT teams, comprising reporters and photographers, visited 10 of Delhi's worst traffic stretches.

They captured the scenes of chaos, snarls and traffic violations that haunt these stretches, especially during peak traffic hours.

Defunct traffic signals, uneven road width, poor road engineering, fascination for cars and rampant violation of road rules are the key reasons behind the traffic nightmare.
