According to eyewitnesses, a large group of demonstrators gathered early in the morning, placing barricades and burning tires to prevent vehicles from passing. The protest led to long traffic jams, leaving commuters stranded for hours.
Authorities have not yet disclosed the exact cause of the protest, but initial reports suggest that the demonstrators are raising concerns over civic issues, including a lack of basic amenities and unfulfilled promises by the local administration.
