10 held over horse cart race in Delhi
Hindustan TimesCommuters in Delhi often suffer crippling snarls in central Delhi, often due to encroachments on the road or vehicle breakdowns. However, on Sunday afternoon, traffic on Jawaharlal Nehru Marg, which is one of the busiest stretches of the Capital, was impacted by a different reason — an illegal horse cart race being held in the heart of the city, Delhi Police officers aware of the matter said. Deputy commissioner of police Sanjay Kumar Sain said that around 4.30 pm, the Kamla Market police station was informed about the race. He said police immediately swung into action and placed barricades on the road to stop the alleged race. A purported video of the race was shared on social media, in which one horse cart is seen moving at a high speed, while people on two-wheelers honk and clearing the way.
