Commuters on Delhi's roads had it worst, with a section of taxi drivers protesting a Supreme Court decision to ban cabs operating on diesel and petrol.
The protesting drivers took to the roads at many places in the capital, causing hardships for school-going children and office-goers.
The condition was worse on the Delhi-Gurgaon and Delhi-Noida borders and near west Delhi's Rajokri area.
