Drivers encountered major backups at key junctions and main roads. Problem areas included the Uppal-Boduppal route, Allugadda Bavi, Rail Nilayam, Moula Ali Kaman toward Kushaiguda, Begumpet, Karkhana, and roads leading to Prakash Nagar. Further issues arose near Muffakham Jah College to Panjagutta Flyover and Begumpet Flyover, plus Banjara Hills Road No. 12 to Masab Tank Flyover and Shaikpet to Tolichowki.
Some two-wheeler riders sheltered under Khairatabad Metro Station, adding to slow traffic between Ayodhya Junction and VV Statue.
