On Wednesday February 9, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy was in the coastal city of Visakhapatnam to participate in the annual Sri Sarada Peetham festival.

His visit left the citizens and those flying out of the city from Visakhapatnam airport fuming, as the vehicular traffic was halted for a long time for CM's passage.

Due to the restrictions imposed by Visakhapatnam city police for providing secure passage to the CM, many passengers had to run with children and luggage to catch their flights.

In a video, a woman passenger was seen arguing with on-duty cops questioning the restriction. "If I miss my flight, will you repay me? This is not right, why have you stopped the traffic," questioned the woman.

The CM came to Vishakapatanam on Wednesday to participate in the annual festival of Sri Sarada Peetham.

Meanwhile, the CM expressed his deep dissatisfaction over the traffic restrictions for hours. He has directed the Director General of Police (DGP) to conduct an inquiry into the matter. The CM questioned why the traffic was stopped for hours.

He further ordered that such incidents should not be repeated in the future and that his movements should not cause any inconvenience to the people.
