Traffic chaos in City

Sir,
Our City’s traffic is worsening with each passing day. It is also equally true that the traffic has increased manifold with an increase in the number of private vehicles day by day. The roads are very narrow as well as congested for this overburdening flow of traffic in our Jammu city. Huge traffic jams can be observed at all prominent routes which is really a cause of grave concern for all Jammuites. It is worthwhile to mention here that the metador drivers are also responsible for the traffic congestion problem in our city. There are no fixed bus stops for these matadors and the operators of these matadors stop their vehicles at any place as per their will due to lack of check and action by the Traffic Police. The mismanagement on the part of traffic authorities in handling this overburdening traffic cannot be overlooked. However, the traffic scenario gets further messy during the peak hours which further aggravate the traffic system. Ex-IGP Traffic Jammu, Basant Rath’s way of streamlining traffic was really praiseworthy and deserves kudos but very unfortunately since after his transfer to other department, the traffic system in our city has taken an ugly shape. Due to traffic snarls everywhere the life becomes out of gear. It is high time now that the traffic authorities need to be extra vigilant and honest while discharging their duties. At the same time, we the responsible citizens of this society must coordinate with them and must strictly adhere the traffic protocols. Government should also have to take certain initiatives like construction of more flyovers, widening of roads, removing illegal encroachments etc so as to streamline the traffic system in our city.
