Traffic in Badaun city was affected for hours on Wednesday due to the visit of Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav. For security reasons, police barricaded roads leading to the event venue and diverted vehicles. This led to long queues of vehicles and traffic jams at several major intersections in the city. Normal traffic also slowed down around the event venue.

Akhilesh Yadav's convoy passed through Dahgawan at approximately 5:15 PM, during which traffic was completely halted for some time. A large number of police and PAC personnel were deployed to maintain security. Police continuously managed the crowd at the event venue and surrounding roads. A huge crowd of supporters had gathered around the farmhouse, leading to chaotic situations at times. However, the police maintained order with barricades and a security cordon. Even after the event concluded, vehicle pressure persisted on the surrounding roads for a considerable period, causing inconvenience to commuters.
