SAMBA, Sept 6: National Highway and Vijaypur-Ramgarh road which is known for regular traffic congestions today remained jammed for hours together and paralyzed normal life in the area. Though, a group of prominent citizens of the area met the concerned authorities and apprised them of the regular traffic jams on Vijaypur – Ramgarh road at a number of times earlier seeking their immediate intervention in the matter so that the problem being faced by general public is solved once for all, nothing tangible has materialized so far.
The problem gets further aggravated due to the dumping of goods and other material by the shopkeepers on roadside as well as irregular parking of vehicles on either side of the road.
The people of the Vijaypur demanded intervention of the higher authorities for redressal of their problem, besides the up-gradation of Bye-Pass road alongside the Ravi Tawi Canal so as to ensure hassle free movement of locals as well as vehicles on the road.
