Talking to a vegetable vendor he said that more vehicles are parked in no parking zones. “People park their vehicles anywhere, and the system is very unorganized,” he said. There is excessive traffic caused as a result of this, he opined
Police officers have removed many scooters and bikes everyday, said the vendor. Turns out, people still don’t adhere to the traffic rules. The route is typically clogged by a lot of traffic, especially in the evening. The owners of two-wheelers towed by the police are subject to a fine of 785 rupees.
According to some residents, there should be more designated parking areas and more restaurants and cafes should ban double parking outside their cafes.
