Hyderabad Traffic Jam | Hyderabad, Oct 22: Heavy traffic built up across Hyderabad on Thursday as people returned to the city after the Dasara holidays. Traffic restrictions for the immersion of Durga idols near Tank Bund and Necklace Road added to the delays.
Vehicle jams began in the early hours in several parts of the city. Dilsukhnagar and Uppal were among the worst affected, and employees, traders and other commuters faced difficulty.
Traffic on the main roads leading into Hyderabad also rose sharply as people who had gone to their native villages for the festival came back.

Police are diverting regular vehicles heading towards Tank Bund via the Telangana Thalli flyover and Lower Tank Bund.
They have taken special measures to control congestion. Even so, traffic on the main routes moved slowly because of the number of returning travellers.
Schools had holidays from October 10 to 22 for Dasara and Bathukamma. They reopen on Friday. Junior colleges reopened on Thursday, so students and their families also headed back to Hyderabad.
