Taking to Instagram, Divya Chaturvedi shared a video describing the daily ordeal faced by people travelling through areas such as Parthala, Gaur City and the road near Pan Oasis. She joked that those who moved to Noida to escape Delhi’s traffic and overcrowding now find themselves trapped in another commuting nightmare.
“Bro, people moved to Noida hoping to escape Delhi’s traffic and overcrowded roads, but now they cannot escape Noida’s traffic either. Noida is going to finish us. The traffic here has absolutely no mercy. You can leave the office at 6 pm or at 9.30 pm, and it makes no difference at all. The roads are equally packed, with the same number of cars everywhere. Sometimes I genuinely wonder whether people reach home and then come back to the intersection because they suddenly realise, ‘Wait, why isn’t my car stuck in traffic too? Let me go back.’”
Chaturvedi said the congestion begins soon after she leaves the office, particularly on the road before Parthala, near Pan Oasis and opposite Shaurya Banquet.
“The moment you leave the office, the first place that gives you a migraine is the road before Parthala, near Pan Oasis and opposite Shaurya Banquet. That traffic jam alone is enough to ruin your mood and mental peace. Once you somehow survive the first level of this real-life Khatron Ke Khiladi, you reach the Parthala traffic jam.”

“You can take the flyover, but honestly, it is useless. It has done nothing to reduce traffic. Go under the flyover and there is a jam there too. Somehow reach Gaur City, and another traffic jam is waiting for you. That one is expected now; we have already accepted that Gaur City will always be crowded. Honestly, I am done. I am completely frustrated. This is not an entertaining Reel; this is a pure frustration Reel.”
She shared the clip with the caption, “How much longer must Noida residents suffer?”
