What has happened to the city?: Gurugram woman vents frustration over Delhi-NCR traffic during Diwali

An Instagram user with the name Priyanka shared a video blaming the traffic during Diwali, illustrating it is taking her about four hours to reach the office and another similar hours to head back home.

Priyanka also appealed to her office to allow the employees to work from home as it's becoming quite an insurmountable task to reach office on time.

She says in the video, "I have no clue what has happened to Gurgaon? Why do the daily commuters need four hours to reach the office? Yesterday, it took me four hours to reach home from the office. Today I left home at 8:30 am to attend the office Diwali party and fashion show but I am still stuck in traffic at 11 am with another 43 minutes more needed to reach. Who needs four hours to reach the office!"

"The offices should be kind enough to allow us to work from home because spending four hours in traffic is of no use. It seems half of our lives will be spent in traffic. What's the point of having an office in Gurgaon? No idea what's happening in Gurgaon," she added.

Several people have shared their similar experiences commenting on the post.

One with the username Pooja Sharma said, "True. I am also going through this. It took me three hours in Gurgaon itself to reach home."

Another user writes, "Hell journey from Delhi to GGN and back. My spine is cursing me."

"I can feel...still stuck in traffic," writes one Dimple Chutani.

Some have even advised her to travel by metro to save both time and fuel.
