Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to the City led to traffic jams on major roads on Friday.

As the Prime Minister arrived in the City ahead of schedule skipping, ONGC function in Mangalore due to heavy rains, traffic policemen had a tough time. Movement of vehicles was affected as the PM’s convoy moved on Airport road, M G Road, Cubbon Road and Raj Bhavan Road. Traffic on Residency Road was affected for more than half an hour. Junctions close to the entry and exit points of the Palace Grounds, saw traffic snarls for more than 20 minutes in the evening.

DCP Traffic (East) M A Saleem said that the traffic jam was a result of vehicles leaving from Palace Grounds from one point after the Prime Minister’s programme.
