Chandigarh traffic has also become very bad and the cops and most of the roundabouts have been replaced with traffic lights. Even then, traffic seems to be getting out of hands.

I am glad the police is still taking some initiative. Chandigarh traffic police is pretty strict as compared to other cities. Gurgaon Police should probably take some lessons from CHD police.
