Traffic chaos ensued near the C-Hexagon around India Gate in Lutyens' Delhi Tuesday evening due to the 'Tiranga Shaurya Samman Yatra'. The march led to significant congestion, leaving many commuters, especially office-goers, struggling to navigate the busy routes.

Frustrated commuters voiced their displeasure, criticizing the Delhi Police for imposing frequent diversions and restrictions for VIP movements and events. 'Why must common people endure such inconvenience on already busy routes?' a commuter questioned.
