Hyderabad: Vehicular traffic goes for a toss

Hyderabad: The "Maha Dharna" conducted by the Telangana electricity employees before the head office, Vidyut Soudha, at the busy Khairatabad area brought the vehicular traffic to a standstill for a few hours on Friday afternoon.

The employees gathered in large numbers causing heavy traffic jabs between Lakdi-ka-pool and Punjagutta stretch. One ambulance also got stuck. Alerted police provided it a safe passage. It was tough time for commuters to reach their destinations. Hundreds of vehicles, RTC buses, private vehicles and two-wheelers got stranded in traffic jam for hours. It took two hours for the police to clear the traffic congestion.
