July 29, 2016 11:39

Hundreds of commuters are still stuck on Gurgaon-Jaipur Highway after heavy rains and water-loggings caused massive traffic jams, especially near the Huda City Centre Metro Station.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday blamed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for Gurgaon traffic fiasco.

In a tweet, Manohar Lal Khattar held Arvind Kejriwal responsible for waterlogging on Gurgaon highway. The Haryana Chief Minister said that Kejriwal's non-cooperative behaviour has caused the traffic jam. Haryana BJP spokesperson Jawahar Yadav backed CM Khattar saying a large chunk of water goes out from Gurgaon through the Najafgarh drain which flows through Delhi. There is some blockage in the drainage line in Delhi.
