Anil Juneja, a resident of Badarpur, called me up to tell me about traffic snarls at Badarpur Border. Even I am aware of that and National Highways Authority of India is developing the Badarpur border on a priority basis so there is a smooth transition of traffic on that road. Anil says, “Everyday in the morning and evening you have to wait for 45minutes to one hour in traffic just to cross the border.” Well that is nothing new. Most of the commuters travelling from Faridabad to Delhi have complained me about it. However, he has a suggestion which if implemented can save commuters from routine jams at Mathura Road on Badarpur border. He says, “There are two canals coming from Mithapur and Palla flow behind Sarita Vihar next to the Indian Oil bottling plant. It is a stretch of hardly two-and-a-half kilometres. If some of the traffic is diverted from that road to Faridabad, then traffic congestion at Badarpur Border will ease. The only problem is the road is presently un-metalled. Once the authorities construct the road properly, it can be a nice alternative for traffic going to Faridabad and vice versa.” I think the authorities should take a look at this alternative and should repair the road. The Delhi Traffic Police should work out some traffic arrangement in which this road can be used to ease traffic on Mathura Road at Badarpur Border. It can be a stopgap arrangement for the time being only until the Badarpur border is completely developed by NHAI.
