Traffic mess

Sir,
In the City of Temples traffic is a total mess. While everybody speaks of the difficulties faced by motorists no body speaks about the pedestrians. They risk their lives in crossing roads. The foot paths are encroached by whosoever can be it shopkeepers, rehriwallas, municipal workers, electric department or building contractors. How is a pedestrian supposed to walk in the streets and cross roads in the city.
I am perplexed about this serious problem and would use your columns to bring this serious problem to notice of the concerned authorities.
Yours etc…
Prof B L Kaul
