Chhath Puja Rush Triggers Four-Hour Traffic Gridlock In Nalasopara, Vasai; Thousands Head To Beaches For Rituals

On Sunday evening, traffic congestion gripped Vasai and Nalasopara, bringing vehicular movement to a complete halt. The reason was the influx of thousands of devotees from the North Indian community, who were en route to local beaches to observe Chhath Puja rituals. Kalamb, Rajodi, and Arnala beaches witnessed large crowds, with the same trend anticipated on Tuesday morning. This surge in vehicle numbers resulted in traffic being completely gridlocked from 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM.

The situation was exacerbated by reckless driving and a tanker that broke down on the road. Private vehicles collided with one another on the narrow Nalasopara flyover, creating bumper-to-bumper queues that stretched for miles. Traffic police were on the spot immediately, working tirelessly to clear the bottleneck and regulate the flow of vehicles. However, the ordeal left commuters with severe inconvenience and delays for a duration of four hours.
