While the car driver said his vehicle was hit from the rear side, the Army’s truck driver refuted the accusation and said the car was taken out from a parking area.

The arguments between the Army man and the car driver led to traffic jam which extended to around a kilometre.

Traffic police officials said the Army’s driver refused to shift his vehicle saying that his senior officers would come and take stock of the matter.

The situation was brought under control after around two-and-a-half hours with much persuasion. No case has been registered in this regard by the police.

Meanwhile, chaos was witnessed on the Barnala road near Rose Garden Chowk due to the widening of the road.

Daily commuters said the ill planned way of widening the road caused inconvenience to.

“The authorities concerned and the contractor involved in the widening of the road refused to listen to the grievances of the complainants,” said Ashok Kumar, a recent victim of a road accident on the stretch.
