3-km jam at Bherughat on Indore-Khandwa Road leaves vehicles stuck for hours

A jam about three kilometres long built up at Bherughat, near Simrol on the Indore-Khandwa Road, on Friday afternoon. Vehicle numbers suddenly rose and cars and trucks lined up one behind the other in the ghat section. Hundreds of passengers and drivers remained stuck in the jam for hours.

According to people present at the spot, traffic on the road suddenly increased in the afternoon, and long queues of vehicles quickly formed on the ghat.

Despite the length of the jam, no police personnel or responsible administrative official was seen at the spot to ease the flow of traffic.

As the situation worsened, local residents from the area came forward on their own. They took charge of the traffic and tried to clear the jam. After considerable effort, vehicles gradually began to move, and the stranded passengers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
