A massive rally by trade unions demanding a change in economic and labour policies on Wednesday threw traffic out of gear in the National Capital causing inconvenience to a large number of people. Traffic on roads leading to Connaught Place and Parliament Street was badly affected from 11 a.m. as portions of main streets such as Ashoka Road were closed for vehicular movement.
Vehicles were choc-a-bloc on Feroze Shah Road, Kasturba Gandhi Marg, Madhavrao Scindia Road and Minto Road besides others. Parliament Street was closed from Patel Chowk towards Jantar Mantar.
