After the grand closing ceremony at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the rush inside the stadium descended upon the city roads, causing massive traffic jams around the venues.

Traffic snarls were reported from from Pragati Maidan and its nearby areas. A traffic cop said that DTC's low-floor air conditioned buses, which were pressed into service for the Commonwealth Games became a major reason for the jam.u00a0

"The buses blocked the road. Drivers were taking all the buses to Indraprastha Bus depot to park them there. Traffic problems were reported from nearby area of old-fort. The buses were coming from the zoo side and they had to go to Indraprastha Depot that caused a traffic jam," he said. It took more than an hour for the traffic to get normal.u00a0u00a0u00a0
