Maneesh Singh, who was travelling from north Delhi to Gurugram, said the area near Mahipalpur was completely jam-packed.
“I was travelling from Model Town to Gurugram for a meeting. I got stuck at Mahipalpur and there was a massive jam at Delhi-Gurugram border. The motorists were struggling to pass through the stretch,” Singh said.
