Noida: A delegation of Janshakti Seva Samiti, a group of vigilant residents, called on Rajesh S, deputy commissioner of police, (traffic), on Tuesday to draw his attention to issues of traffic violations on the city roads.
The service road below City Centre metro station remains blocked by auto-rickshaws. Drivers of these rickshaws occupy a major portion of of the road causing immense inconvenience to pedestrians.
In addition to this, drivers of private cabs park their four-wheelers on the main road below the station. This leads to frequent traffic jams on the road.
Due to the ongoing development work for an underpass at Sector 71 road juncture, traffic on the main roads has been diverted to different roads. It is causing immense inconvenience to commuters. They have to drive extra miles to reach their destinations. Commuters and drivers of commercial vehicles are seen taking roads near residential pockets.
The delegation demanded installation of CCTV cameras on roads to keep a check on a traffic violation. The deputy police commissioner told them that the work falls under the jurisdiction of Noida Industrial Development Authority. They are pursuing the matter with the authority and assured that CCTV cameras will be installed on different roads soon.
There are roads in residential sectors where commercial vehicles like auto-rickshaws, buses, and travellers are routinely parked. Due to this, traffic jams are taking place.
The delegation, which comprised of Ravi Kant Mishra, chairman of the committee, AN Dhawan, chief Patron, Brigadier (retired) Ashok Hak, vice-chairman, Narendra Chodra, President, Sakshee Sharma, Jyoti Chaturvedi and Rajendra Shukla, urged the top cop to resolves the issues raised by them at the earliest.
