After a five-day long holiday, Mumbai that never sleeps faced traffic jams on the first working day, on Tuesday. Vehicles lined up for hours on traffic clogged roads. To add to this, there were huge crowds and queues outside public service facilities/ authorities like banks, the Mantralaya, courts, and MHADA.
Last week, there was a public holiday on Thursday for Anant Chaturdashi, the last day of Ganesh immersion and on Monday, for Gandhi Jayanti. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had announced on Wednesday evening that there would be a holiday on Friday for Eid. This gave a five-day holiday to almost all establishments both public and private.
