Dear Editor,
Through your esteemed daily, I would like to highlight the issue that traffic violations are increasing day by day at Kunjwani Chowk and no one is there to keep a check on this. Kunjwani Chowk is one among the most frequented Chowks along the National Highway- 1 which is a main link to the city. Minibuses, trucks and long route buses are usually seen making sudden stoppage just in the middle of the Chowk. Motorists blatantly use the Chowk for lifting or dropping the commuters. Road mishaps are reported here every now and then but the Traffic Police and other agencies concerned have not yet taken a serious notice of the worsening situation.
Locals have to remain extra vigilant while passing through the area, as there is no monitoring mechanism to streamline the traffic. Long traffic jams, rashly driven buses and other heavy vehicles is a common scene here but no one is there to keep a check on this.
This road serves many schools and large number of houses in this area and is having a lot of traffic at any time of the day yet the road is neglected. It has become very difficult to drive here during the evening hours and at night as there are no lights. One has to drive at his own risk. High speed buses and other heavy vehicles can be seen driven recklessly as there is no lighting system or any other mechanism to regulate traffic. We have complained many times but the concerned authorities have turned blind towards our problems.
