Chandigarh, December 24
Social media meme-makers had a field day as the internet community didn’t miss the chance to poke the holidaymakers, who in a bid to have a relaxed long weekend in the lap of Himachal Pradesh’s hill station Manali, caught up by a massive traffic jam on Christmas eve.
On Sunday, a massive traffic jam was witnessed beyond Manali towards Sissu as a large number of tourists flocked to the hill station for Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Taking a hilarious take on the situation, a social media user posted on ‘X’, formerly Twitter, “Bro got stuck in 2 hours deadly traffic In Bengaluru on Thursday. Booked a flight to Delhi on Friday and took a cab directly to Manali on Saturday. Bro still stuck in Deadly traffic in Manali on Sunday. Don’t be like Bro”.
