Heavy traffic congestion has gripped Chennai as hundreds of thousands of residents depart the city for their hometowns during the ongoing long weekend. The surge in travelers has caused significant delays and inconvenience across various parts of the city.
Crowds at the Kalaignar Centenary Bus Terminus in Kilambakkam surged beyond capacity, despite the deployment of additional government special buses. To address concerns over potential price gouging, transport department officials conducted surprise inspections at the terminus to prevent private omni-bus operators from charging excessive fares.
