Moreover, amid chaotic situation being witnessed on City roads, the majority of the roads don’t witness the presence of traffic cops, who could ensure the smooth passage to the vehicular movement.
It has been observed that most of the times, the commuters come out of their vehicles to streamline the traffic, which frequently comes to halt due to congested roads.

The lack of parking besides the congested roads is adding to the miseries of the commuters as the people usually park their vehicles illegally on the roadsides. One cannot blame the commuters for illegal car parking, but at least the situation deserve to be tackled in a smooth way for which the presence of traffic policemen becomes mandatory.
The department should consider deploying the traffic policemen on regular basis in these areas so that the commuters could heave a sigh of relief.
