India’s tech hub is Bengaluru. However, this advanced city has always been in the limelight because of its nightmarish traffic. In Bengaluru, one may occasionally have to sit through traffic for longer than two hours. The city’s traffic situation has often led to humorous incidents. Recently, a resident shared an unusual incident on social media platform X, where he ordered a Swiggy delivery in the middle of a traffic jam and shared photos, causing a surge of reactions and humour online.
