“In the morning, at 7.35, a school bus got stuck in the mud, causing a lot of traffic,” said Snehlata Rakhi, the president of the Residents Welfare Association (RWA) of Santushti Flats in Sector D6. “Some people had to leave their cars here, walk a kilometre, and hail autos from there to go and drop their children,” she said, adding that many children have also been missing school due to the traffic jams.

She added that a second school bus got stuck at the same spot in the afternoon.
