Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Several two-wheelers skidded as mud spread on the road and made it slippery after a shower in Bhanwarkuan area on Tuesday evening. A few commuters sustained minor injuries after their two-wheeler skidded. As the work of the flyover is going on in the area a large amount of soil has been excavated and the rain caused it to turn into mud and spread across the road causing inconvenience to the people. People called the police and informed them about the same to prevent any major road mishap.
Meanwhile, several vehicles were stuck in a traffic jam that stretched for half a kilometre on Jawahar Marg at Nandlalpura Square and the intersection of Sanjay Setu Road and Jawahar Marg for hours on Tuesday afternoon. The traffic snarl was caused as there is no traffic signal at the intersection of Sanjay Setu Road and Jawahar Marg and also the fact that vehicles queued behind each other in a haphazard manner with everybody wanting to go first.
