Despite ‘staggered’ VIP movement, central Delhi gridlocked once again amid AI Impact Summit

Central Delhi experienced significant traffic congestion during the AI Impact Summit, despite efforts to manage VIP convoy movements. Major roads were intermittently cleared for official vehicles, but this strategy failed to alleviate the gridlock, leaving many commuters stuck for hours. The situation was exacerbated by the influx of attendees to the summit, which aimed to explore the implications of artificial intelligence on various sectors. Local authorities had anticipated the challenges posed by high-profile events but struggled to implement effective traffic management. Residents and daily commuters expressed frustration over the recurring traffic disruptions, highlighting the need for more robust solutions to ensure smoother navigation through the city during such gatherings. The AI Impact Summit not only draws attention to technological advancements but also underscores the ongoing challenges of urban infrastructure in handling large-scale events.
