Delhi Traffic Police blames Google Maps for Barapullah-III congestion
- Delhi’s Barapullah Phase-III has faced severe traffic jams since opening on September 29, with commuters reporting hour-long delays.
- Traffic police said Google Maps was not reflecting live congestion, showing the route as clear and encouraging more motorists to use it.
- Police initially blamed a structural bottleneck, where traffic from around 8–9 lanes merges into just three lanes, before deleting that post.
- Police later advised commuters to avoid Barapullah and use alternative routes via NH-24 and DND Flyway to ease the congestion.
