Traffic jam
We the common people of the big cities have to suffer a lot because of unbearable traffic jam. As we start for our workplace early in the morning we get stuck up in long rows of vehicles. The huge line of vehicles inches onward, causing irritation to the commuters who travel by bus or CNG run baby taxies. In some thoroughfares it is the rickshaws that are responsible for traffic congestion. Private cars also add to the already aggravated traffic situation. Again drivers often disregard traffic rules, giving rise to a chaotic situation.
As the winter season is over, the weather is getting warmer day by day. Getting stuck up in traffic grid-lock can be a suffocating experience as the roofs of the vehicles get heated very easily. As you travel under the sun, you sweat profusely. Thus traffic jam is making life difficult for the city-dwellers.
Some initiatives have already been taken to ease the problem. Some roads have been made off-limit to rickshaws. Some of the main roads have been widened. The authorities may allow more buses as they can accommodate more people.
Finally, we hope the authorities will come up with pragmatic solutions.
