- An ambulance carrying a snakebite patient was stuck for nearly 50 minutes on the Delhi-Meerut road in Ghaziabad after a minor collision with a kanwar trolley led pilgrims to blockade the road on Monday morning.
- Police intervened and persuaded the pilgrims to lift the blockade, and the patient was later referred to GTB Hospital.
- Following the disruption, traffic police advanced a planned one-way diversion, reserving one carriageway for pilgrims and diverting regular vehicles to the other until Aug 12.
- From Aug 7, the UP stretch of the Delhi-Meerut Expressway will be closed to general traffic for five days as pilgrim numbers peak, with commuters already reporting doubled travel times.
What to watch next
- The five-day closure of the Delhi-Meerut Expressway to general traffic starting Aug 7
