Rajouri May 11 (GNS) :– The city has become so congested that people have to look for parking space for vehicles and at several places drivers have created their own unauthorised parkings. The traffic congestion is emerging as the biggest problem in the city and in the absence of proper management, even traffic police personnel are finding it hard to deal with the situation.

“The increasing number of vehicles and paucity of parking space have been playing havoc with the traffic management in the city. In the areas like Kheora, Old Bus stand, Bus stand to Abdullah Bridge, Jawahar nagar road, Panja to Salani Bridge, Distt. Hospital Road, pedestrians and commuters are continuously annoyed with the honking and screeching of vehicles,” said, a local resident.

“It becomes difficult for commercial vehicles to pass through roads as at a number of places people park their vehicles on roadsides, leaving little space for the movement of big vehicles, leading to jams,” said, a shopkeeper.

Many times there are no traffic police personnel deployed on busy roads and chowks to manage the flow of traffic, he added.

Residents say vehicles can be seen parked in a haphazard manner anywhere on the road without thinking about other commuters. “People themselves are responsible for this act as they should understand their responsibility and park their vehicles in the parking area, so that it should not create chaos on roads leading to traffic,” they added.
