Bengaluru's tech corridor Outer Ring Road, witnessed an unusually massive traffic jam on September 27 evening.
Deputy Commissioner of Police-West (Traffic) Kuldeep Kumar R Jain, wrote on Twitter (formerly X), "There is a huge traffic pile-up on ORR from Marathahalli to Sarjapur. Please instruct ITBT companies located on ORR not to rush out as there is a massive jam due to invariably high number of vehicles."
HAL airport officials said that the traffic volume is exceptionally high due to upcoming holidays.
According to the city police, a large number of people are leaving the city ahead of the extended holiday period. September 28 is a holiday for Eid Milad-Un Nabi, many pro-Kannada organisations called for the Cauvery bandh on September 29, followed by the weekend, and October 2 marks Gandhi Jayanti.

Tired of every fucking thing in this city. Born and brought up in this city. Life was good. However its not the same now. Fucking overpopulation, overcrowding, over expensive rent, food, where are we heading. Public transport is good, lo...
I've been living in Bangalore for six years, but today made me seriously question my sanity. This city, with all its quirks, tests your patience every single day. Here is what happened to me last month.
I left for work at 8 AM that da...
If Mumbai hasn't why will Bengaluru. You will keep living a life of cockroach but Bangalore will continue to grow
Moreover the organisations also don't try to understand and make it mandatory for us to come to the office.
