With the 100% lockdown conditions imposed on the Chennai District/Metro City, a large number of vehicles were off to the southern districts of Tamil Nadu and this caused a severe traffic jam in the Vandalur zone.
As a measure to prevent the raging coronavirus pandemic whose impact/intensity has been quite severe in 4 districts of Chennai, Kanchipuram, Chingleput, and Thiruvallur, 100% lockdown conditions have been imposed from 19th June to 30th June.
As such, since yesterday night, a large number of vehicles left for the southern districts from the Chennai Metro City.
With this, a severe traffic jam was caused in the zone from Vandalur to Perungalathur. The vehicles got lined up to a distance of 2 km! With the testing for E-pass NOT being conducted, the vehicles were allowed to pass through the tollgates at Chingleput tollgate without any charges!
