Sufferings of pedestrians
A few months back, all of a sudden in a fine morning, DMP prevented all rickshaws plying from Malibag intersection to Segun Bagicha area saying that this was a VIP road. In protest of that order, people instantly brought out a violent procession and vandalized many vehicles. Then DMP authority said, "Actually, police was rehearsing how to ease the traffic congestion." But then again, on July 20, 2011 DMP police repeated the same thing ignoring the sufferings of women, children, aged and ailing people. As a regular office goer I witnessed these sufferings and altercations with traffic police. Moreover, Ramadan is coming; even for a healthy fasting person it is tiresome to return home on foot in summer afternoons. I urge upon the DMP authorities to find out an alternative to mitigate the sufferings of the people of these areas.
