Long jam at Usaith-Pinahat Chambal ghat in Morena as Bhai Dooj crowds cross the river

A large number of vehicles gathered at the Usaith-Pinahat Chambal ghat in Morena on Bhai Dooj on Wednesday, causing a long traffic jam. Queues of two-wheelers and four-wheelers stood on both sides of the ghat.

On Bhai Dooj, many people are crossing the Chambal river to visit relatives and acquaintances. Vehicle movement at the ghat had increased from the morning. With a large number of vehicles arriving at the same time, traffic arrangements broke down and a jam built up. People out to celebrate the festival, and other commuters, are facing difficulty.

After news of the jam, police personnel reached the spot and are managing traffic. Vehicles are being let through in turns so that movement can ease. For now, pressure of vehicles at the ghat continues.
