On September 27, Bengaluru’s technology corridor, the Outer Ring Road, faced a massive traffic jam, leaving hundreds of people stranded for hours. The congestion was reportedly caused as residents left the city for the long weekend ahead of Eid-e-Milad today, a public holiday on Friday and Gandhi Jayanti on Monday. All of that, along with Trevor Noah’s gig in town, plus the rain, is said to be the main cause of the traffic.
