During our day 2 day life we need to commute to different places so we use to travel daily. Going to school or college or anyone going to their workplace needs to travel from one place to another. As someone was want to travel to vacation place then also they need to travel to different places. I am going to talk about the jam I faced when I was travelling from Jammu to Srinagar. We eventually planned the trip very properly and checked the roads for any traffic prior to it. But the roads were quite narrow so we thought and took the delay for almost 2-3 hours and we eventually planned in such a way that we would get delayed for some time but we hadn’t planned for anything like delay of almost 6 hours. As the roads were quite narrow and located at such height there were number of people travelling to this place as it was vacations and eventually due to low light conditions as it rained just sometime earlier and there was foggy weather no one can view at a large distance. So there was an accident which caused the jam. Eventually there was no death of any person or no major injuries to life of any people which was a good sign. But the traffic which was from this was very bad. It eventually took almost of 6-7 hours to clear the jam and we wasted almost one day which was planned to reach. As we planned to reach the place almost at 8 o’clock in the night but due to this jam we were able to get a good amount of traffic as well as we were dancing in the tempo traveller as we were on a vacation trip with all other 15 people. We enjoyed the time as well but we were quite conscious about the people who were injured.

During our day-to-day life, we need to commute to different places, so we travel daily. Going to school, college, or anyone going to their workplace requires traveling from one place to another. If someone wants to travel to a vacation spot, they also need to travel to different places. I am going to talk about the jam I faced when I was traveling from Jammu to Srinagar. We planned the trip very carefully and checked the roads for any traffic beforehand. However, the roads were quite narrow, so we anticipated a delay of almost 2-3 hours. We planned in such a way that we would get delayed for some time, but we hadn't accounted for a delay of almost 6 hours. As the roads were narrow and located at a high altitude, there were many people traveling to this place since it was vacation time. Due to low light conditions, as it had rained just earlier, and the foggy weather, visibility was poor. An accident occurred, which caused the jam. Fortunately, there were no fatalities or major injuries, which was a good sign. However, the traffic situation was very bad. It took almost 6-7 hours to clear the jam, and we wasted almost a whole day that we had planned to reach. We intended to arrive at around 8 o'clock at night, but due to this jam, we encountered a significant amount of traffic. We were also dancing in the tempo traveler since we were on a vacation trip with 15 other people. We enjoyed the time, but we were quite conscious about the people who were injured.
