Another commuter, on his way to Ghaziabad, said that he was stuck in the area for around an hour.

"All roads from Lutyens' Delhi heading towards ITO were choked with heavy traffic. The road leading to Vikas Marg from ITO was blocked, worsening the situation. However, once the barricades were removed, traffic began to ease," he said.

A police officer said the traffic in the area had become regular by the evening.
