Yesterday, I told you about how well the Delhi Traffic Police is managing traffic at the ongoing India International Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan. However, their glorious achievement has been nullified by other civic agencies. I am pointing out towards lack of proper lighting for pedestrians on Mathura Road. On the persistence of traffic police officials, on Sunday the agencies involved started putting lights for the pedestrians along Mathura Road. Another problem is the lax attitude of MCD. On Friday evening at some stretches, streetlights on Mathura Road at Pragati Maidan conked off. An international level fair is happening at Pragati Maidan, the officers should have ensured that lighting remains proper at that stretch. Forget about making proper arrangements, the streetlights were not even working on Sunday evening. It was a dark affair. Such things should be rectified immediately so that no inconvenience happens to the public. The government should take errant officers to task that are responsible for this.Another important thing that I have noticed is the landscape of South extension has changed considerably for good. Planners have a done a good job here. The location of the subway is perfect and for convenience of the public, the location of the bus stop has also been shifted to entry and exit points of the subway. These two facts have ensured that pedestrian subway is used to the optimum. Usually in Delhi I have noticed subways are located 200 metres away from the actual bus stop, which forces pedestrians to cross the road from the bus stop only. To my notice South Extension is the first place where planners have executed a beautiful job by thinking in the right direction. I hope in future too, they think pragmatically about these solutions. Another important fact is that government should expedite the making of foot-over bridges at proposed places. The second foot-over bridge (FOB) was also built within one month near Bhagwan Das Road-Mathura Road T-point. So why work on other important locations haven’t started yet? It's been two months since Joint Commissioner (Traffic) Qamar Ahmed had shot off a letter to PWD, Engineer-in-chief to start the construction of FOB at Maharani Bagh, Delhi Haat and ISBT. Still nothing has been done. It seems the PWD officials are sleeping on the proposal while the Delhiites are suffering due to their lax behaviour.
