It took me 1.5 hours to commute just a distance of 5km. Plus 20min to come out of the office gate. Traffic situation is worse than ever this week. Partially because of the sudden closure of Alpine eco road.@acpnortheasttr#bangaloretrafficpic.twitter.com/y57yvKXOat — Ramachandra Thejasvi (@thejasvi_jr) October 14, 2019
