A massive traffic jam on the Andheri-Goregaon stretch of the Western Express Highway on Tuesday morning brought back memories of the usual rush hour on Mumbai-s roads even as it remained in the red zone of the nation-s COVID-19 crisis. Though people ventured out in their vehicles despite police nakabandi at different points on the highway, cops said they would continue to take strict action against those violating norms.
Those living along the highway were shocked to see traffic on the stretch despite the lockdown being in place and tweeted some pictures and videos of the same. Some police officers were even spotted confiscating the keys of vehicles whose owners were not involved in providing essential services.
