JAMMU: For the past several days, traffic cops and district police have been conducting special drives to ease congestion on the roads but so far their efforts have not borne fruitful results.
Though shifting of Durbar Move offices to Srinagar has brought down the number of vehicles on the roads significantly and scorching heat is also taking its toll on the movement of people yet the menace of wrong parking and other routine violations have not been checked by the men in blue.
Even the most frequented and busy roads in the walled city area remain choked due to menace of wrong parking, especially during peak hours.
The Matadoor drivers seldom use demarcated stops to off load and pick passengers leading to total chaotic situation on the roads.
Interestingly, the traffic cops, who mostly remain busy in issuing challans to violators seldom take action against the habitual violators for reasons best known to them.
Connivance of some of the traffic cops with these nuisance makers on the roads cannot be completely ruled out as the same men organise special check points to book challans of two wheelers but when it comes to regulating Matadoor drivers and booking them for not adhering to the use of bus stops they look the other way and ignore their violations.
