Poor traffic scenario in Jammu city: Namrta

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Feb 20: Commuters in City of Temples are worried as faulty traffic signals at several intersections pose a great threat of accidents. Absence of traffic cops at intersections where signals are not functional adds to the problem, especially in early hours due to fog.
This was observed by Namrta Sharma, president AAP Women Wing J&K in a handout.
She observed that at several intersections, traffic signals are often out of order and many of the lights are non- functional besides at some junctions timers are not working.
The AAP leader claimed that at several crossings, the timers are not working which creates awkward situation and sometimes the confusion result in mishaps.
Namrta said that the present dispensation has spent crore of rupees to streamline the growing traffic scenario but nothing fruitful has emerged.
She appealed to the Lt. Governor to look into the matter and give necessary directions to the authorities concerned to resolve the issues of traffic lights.
