A big FU to CWG 2010 and DSC Limited

I just aborted a mission to Delhi. It turned out to be a nightmare. Took 40 minutes to reach the Toll Plaza. The entire route was jam packed. There was a huge jam past the toll plaza itself. I took a U turn and came back.

DSC Limited are the operators of the Delhi Gurgaon Toll Plaza and they were supposed to open up the plaza for traffic if there was waiting period of a particular time limit. I do not believe that the time period was 30/40/50 minutes.

Anyways. They could have done little to prevent the entire mess. I guess the entire expressway to Delhi was jam packed. My last attempt to visit Delhi was a failure due to problems with the Delhi Metro.

I guess my visit to Delhi is currently jinxed. And I should probably avoid it till the end of the Commonwealth Games if they ever take place!

Update: Looks like this jam was caused due to water-logging in Dwarka. How sad.
