Is Kottayam Lulu mall a curse?

The traffic on MC road from nattakom to manipuzha, kottayam is so bad now. Primarily because of lulu mall kottayam. Im not sure about most days but the last 2 times I went to kottayam, I got stuck in traffic! Today noon it took more than 20 mins to cover a distance of 1.5kms!! What do people of kottayam think? Is it just because of the new mall hype or is it gonna be like this from now on!
