Coupled with the ongoing construction of the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) corridor on BSZ Marg and the Delhi T20 match at Feroz Shah Kotla grounds on Wednesday, traffic came to standstill with commuters gasping for breathing space. A senior traffic official was apprehensive that situation would worsen when the corridor would be built here and starts functioning. Match lovers were looking for space to park their vehicles on the entire stretch as almost one-third of the road space was taken away by ongoing work of the BRT corridor. "The Government is not providing parking space, so we have to park our vehicles wherever we find space on the roadside. Do we elect a Government for our well-being or to make our life hell," said Sushil Bharti, who had come to watch the match. Bharti and his friends reached match venue at 9.30 pm after struggling to park their vehicle since 7.45 pm.
