Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Feb 16: Jammu West Assembly Movement (JWAM) today held a protest at New Plot on Amphalla-High Court Road against the rising traffic problem in Jammu city, particularly on Janipur road.
Addressing the protesting activists, JWAM president, Sunil Dimple, said that the traffic in Jammu city particularly on Janipur road have increased considerably in over last decade but the roads are shrinking due to encroachments and are in bad conditions.
He said on one hand traffic police has failed to control the traffic jams and regulate the traffic and on the other hand Government is doing nothing to ease the traffic problem. On the top of that, some officers in the traffic police are harassing the general public and giving them vulgar treatment on the name of traffic reforms.
Dimple demanded the Government to hold an urgent meeting on the traffic problem and issue directives to construct the flyovers from Amphalla to upper Paloura and from Jewel Chowk to Talab Tillo.
