As the tourist season kicks off in the picturesque hill station of Mussoorie, a heavy influx of visitors has led to severe traffic congestion and overcrowded hotels, leaving many tourists frustrated and struggling to find accommodations. This weekend saw kilometres-long traffic jams, causing significant delays and inconvenience to both tourists and pilgrims heading to the Char Dham shrines.

Traffic Chaos in Mussoorie
Local authorities have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of visitors, failing to manage the traffic effectively.
