Raipur,
January 19, 2013
Congress on Saturday alleged that the police administration has turned the
capital traffic into experimental laboratory. “The police, in its caprice, are
making frequent changes in capital traffic system and causing inconvenience to
the motorists,” said Congress spokesperson Sushil Anand Shukla.
He said the Congress was not just concerned of
capital’s traffic system, but of other cities in the state too. “What are these
responsible law makers doing all the time despite being aware of mismanaged
traffic in the cities,” asked Shukla.
“Traffic bottlenecks have become order of the day in
the capital city. The vehicles with beacon lights are allowed to enter the
restricted zones while the common motorists are fined heavily. The police never
take public inputs to improve the traffic condition,” he indicated.
He said the timings of traffic signals at different
road intersections of Raipur
too were set without considering the traffic flow. He pointed that signal
timings at Mahila Thana chowk, Jaistambh chowk, Fafadih chowk, Shastri chowk, Shankar
Nagar chowk, Lodhipara chowk and Tatyapara chowk needed to reset according to
vehicular pressure on roads.
He said the new road linked to Shastri chowk via
Mantralaya too causes frequent gridlocks at the road intersection.
“Similarly, snarl-ups in Pandri from cloth market
turning to bus stand turning and inside the bus stand area, Krishi Upaj Mandi
turning at Fafaidh, City Kotwali,
Station chowk and other parts of the city could be seen throughout the day,” he
said.
“It is really disappointing that in 12 years, the
state government and police administration could not make effective traffic
plan for Raipur
city,” he said.
