Friday evening saw the worst-ever traffic snarl in the history of city, where commuters competed with snails in covering distances.

It took close to three hours for people to cover ten km. The Hyderabad traffic police through their Twitter handle @hydtp and facebook page https://www.facebook.com/HYDTP/posts/ alerted and guided people on the roads that could be avoided. It guided people to postpone their travel by two hours first and then by another hour.
