New Delhi: During the day, the lanes outside the arrival terminal of the domestic airport lie silent. Traffic flows smoothly; a couple of passengers make their way home without any problems and traffic policemen stand by the roadside, patiently.
But come evening, and the same area is a traffic nightmare - traffic slows down to a snail's pace, irritated passengers stand with their luggage by the roadside and cars are parked in the middle of the moving traffic, waiting to pick up people from the airport. At times, people also get into arguments with the traffic personnel who ask them to keep moving.
Between 6 pm to 9 pm -the hours for most flights to land at Delhi Airport - the area outside Terminal 1C turns into a mess. While traffic officers blame it on DIAL's (Delhi International Airport Limited) new paid pick-up service, DIAL says the congestion is a result of construction by the Delhi Metro. The consequence is a traffic bottleneck and a lot of chaos.
