At the same time, professionals who had come home for the Saturday-Sunday break were heading back towards NCR for work on Monday. The heavy flow of vehicles caused movement to slow down significantly, and commuters took unusually long to cover short distances.

On receiving information about the jam, police personnel reached the spot and worked to ease the flow by organising vehicles into proper lanes.
