"Huge traffic jam at Delhi Gurgaon Border," one Twitter user said, sharing a video which shows dozens of cars waiting in the jam.
"Unprecedented traffic jam on Gurgaon-Delhi highway," another Twitter user complained, sharing a video of the Gurgaon traffic jam.
Many people also complained about the traffic not moving, with some tagging Delhi Traffic Police for help and updates.
One person also shared a video of police barricades closing several lanes as cops allow one vehicle at a time to pass.
Delhi Traffic Police has responded to several tweets, saying that the road from Gurgaon to Delhi has been barricaded and vehicles are being checked, affecting traffic flow.
