New Delhi (PTI): Commuters faced a harrowing morning on Monday as a massive traffic jam brought vehicular movement to a near standstill at the Delhi-Noida border following a protest by a labour union demanding a salary hike.

The protest, which began early in the day, led to congestion on key arterial roads connecting Delhi and Noida, including NH 9, severely disrupting the office rush hour.

Long queues of vehicles were seen stretching for several kilometres, with many commuters stranded for hours.

A police source said that members of the labour union from Uttar Pradesh gathered near the border area were staging a demonstration, blocking portions of the road and slowing down traffic movement.

"Personnel from the Delhi Police and Noida Police were deployed to manage the situation and divert traffic, but the heavy volume of vehicles compounded the chaos," the source said.

Frustrated commuters took to social media platform X, urging authorities to intervene and clear the roads. Many complained of being stuck in unmoving traffic despite starting early to avoid peak-hour congestion.

An employee of a private company said she left her home at around 7:30 am but remained stuck in traffic for over an hour without any significant movement.

"There is no movement at all. People are getting down from vehicles and trying to figure out what's happening ahead," she said.

Authorities said efforts were underway to clear the congestion and restore smooth traffic flow as soon as possible.
