I saw couple of ambulances stuck in traffic. The traffic department should have kept one lane reserved for emergency services like the police, ambulance and fire brigade. — Suhail  Faaroq

Because of the padyatra, the 60-feet road in Dharavi was also closed for more than two hours and the traffic towards BKC from Sion and coming towards Sion hospital was stopped by cops. Many people were stuck in traffic for over 2 hours. It was only after 2.45 pm that 60-feet road was opened for traffic.
