Rain, returning flock choke GST road
Chennai: Rain and returning weekend travellers brought traffic to a grinding halt on GST Road and adjoining highways on Sunday evening, with vehicles crawling bumper to bumper from Chengalpet to Tambaram. With the long Independence Day weekend drawing to a close, thousands who travelled to their hometowns converged on the city at the same time. Traffic snarls were reported at several bottlenecks, including Perungalathur, Vandalur, Kattankulathur, and Singaperumal Koil, where rainwater logging slowed down vehicle movement further. Vehicles lined up for over a kilometre at Paranur toll plaza in Chengalpet, with all lanes choked. "I started from Maduranthakam early, but I ended up spending more than four hours in traffic. It was a nightmare," said Ananthakrishnan, a private firm employee, who got stuck near the Perungalathur bridge. "Traffic diversions for heavy vehicles have been put in place at SP Koil (main diversion), Guduvanchery, ORR and Zero Point for all Chennai-bound vehicles," said Samai Singh Meena, deputy commissioner of police, traffic, Tambaram You Can Also Check: Chennai AQI | Weather in Chennai | Bank Holidays in Chennai | Public Holidays in Chennai | Gold Rates Today in Chennai | Silver Rates Today in Chennai Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Trimbakeshwar braces for rush on last Shravan Somvar
Nashik: In anticipation of a huge rush of devotees on the last Shravan Somvar, strict bandobast will be in place in Trimbakeshwar on Monday. Nearly two lakh devotees thronged Trimbakeshwar on Aug 11, the third Shravan Somvar. Additional SP Aditya Mirkhelkar said: "There has been a huge rush of devotees over Friday and Sunday. It is expected on Monday, though not like the third Shravan Somvar." "We have deployed 300 policemen and another 500 home guards for security," he added. Police officers said the flow of devotees can be unpredictable. An officer said: "Since it is the last Shravan Somvar, the rush can increase, or it could also be the other way round as a large number of devotees arrived in Trimbakeshwar over Friday and Sunday due to the extended weekend following the national holiday on account of Independence Day."
