However, the traffic on the route was caused by a fallen tree, which had been hit by a truck near the military gate of the service road near Ibbalur on the Outer Ring Road. The deputy commissioner of police (traffic south division), Sujeetha Salman shared details with commuters on Twitter and requested them to "move on an alternate road route".

However, Mr Lohiya's gained traction and collected several comments. A user wrote, "Imagine the pressure if she has to work on a damn motorbike. How insensitive are the employers. But if she is late due to her own accord then she is to be blamed."
Another user wrote, "Imagine the pressure, the feeling of lost in your own city where you work 10+hours a day, the disdain. All she required was a smooth traffic-less road where she could commute peacefully from her home and not account for the "extra" hour it takes to commute through a 5KM stretch."
The third user commented, "Everything was fine with WFH but no the companies had to have the upper hand and keep employees subjugated."
"This should not be glorified. This is peak crappy corporate culture," the fourth user wrote.
