UDHAMPUR, Sept 3: The vehicular movement was completely paralyzed on Gole Market Chowk to Court road today due to a huge traffic jam on this busy road for hours together generating a lot of public resentment in the area.
Mukhrjee Bazar, Gole Market Chowk, Court Road and the DC Office road where traffic chaos prevails daily, today witnessed a massive vehicular jam for hours together due to the encroachments made by the shopkeepers and parking of vehicles by the customers on this busy road.
The daily traffic jams on this road have generated a lot of public resentment with people blaming the administration for its total failure in regulating the traffic on this busy road.
Locals blamed the administration for not taking the encroachers to task, especially the shopkeepers, who lay their goods on the roadside and the customers who park their vehicles on the road haphazardly while making purchasings.
People said that many times the issue was taken up with the authorities, but the decisions taken in the meetings are implemented for some days only and later the situation returns to the same chaos.
