The abrupt blockade led to huge tailbacks on both ends of the road.
Witnesses said nearly 1,000 workers of four garments factories took out a procession around 8:30am in Khilkhet disrupting vehicular movement.
Thousands of office-goers were stranded on their way to work.
Police tried to talk the protesters off the road on several occasions without success.
