Patna’s Saguna More area is currently witnessing severe traffic congestion, specifically during the afternoon hours when schools close. Commuters are reporting delays of 30 to 45 minutes at this junction. On February 11, 2026, an ambulance was seen stuck in the jam for over 15 minutes, taking nearly 20 minutes to cross Saguna More. The lack of traffic police personnel during peak school hours is making the situation worse for local residents and emergency services.
Why is Saguna More Facing Heavy Jams?
The traffic load on the road between Saguna More and Danapur Railway Station has doubled due to the development of many new residential colonies. Construction work for the Saguna More and RPS More Metro Stations has also reduced the available road width. Additionally, the Road Construction Department is working on an underground drainage system and a road widening project worth Rs 318.50 crore on Nehru Path.
Traffic Management and Project Statistics
Patna Traffic SP Aprajit Lohan has officially marked Saguna More as a high-priority choke point among 30 such locations in the city. To ease the pressure, the police recently issued a route diversion for vehicles moving toward Hartali More. The administration has also shifted to digital enforcement using HDD machines to manage violations.
