A massive traffic jam has brought the Delhi-Kolkata Highway (NH-19) to a near standstill, with hundreds of vehicles reportedly stuck for almost four days. Vehicles are lined up bumper-to-bumper, with no sign of relief since the congestion began.
The chaos followed heavy rainfall in Bihar’s Rohtas district last Friday, which flooded service lanes and diversions constructed as part of a six-lane expansion project on National Highway 19. According to NDTV, the torrential downpour created extensive waterlogging, potholes, and areas of slush, making sections of the highway nearly impassable.
The disruption has transformed a once-busy highway into a long stretch of stagnant traffic. Trucks, in particular, are struggling to maintain stability on the slick, waterlogged roads, with the jam report
