Massive jams were seen near Akshardham Temple in East Delhi and Delhi-Gurgaon border. Other locations where the "chakka jam" protest is being conducted include the Car Bazar at Vikas Marg, Dayaram Chowk and Civil Lines.
The BJP has alleged that the Delhi government is opening liquor shops illegally across the city under its new excise policy. Shops are being opened near residential and religious places, the party leaders has claimed.
The Delhi BJP leaders said that the protest will continue until the new liquor policy is rolled back.
