Prayagraj Traffic Update: Over 50 Trucks Stranded for 4 Days En Route to Triveni Sangam (Watch Video)

Over 50 trucks have reportedly been stuck for four days on the route from Civil Lines in Delhi to Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, due to heavy traffic congestion caused by Maha Kumbh 2025. This situation arose after several vehicles from different parts of the country attempted to break through police barricades set up to manage traffic flow.

In response, the police used these trucks as makeshift barricades in the middle of the road to prevent more vehicles from entering the congested area. The stranded trucks are carrying goods for the army canteen.
