I received a mail from Promila Khurana who writes, “I would like to bring to your attention the utter chaos at the Ashram flyover at the Ring Road going towards DND Flyway and onwards.

“During peak office hours the situation is so bad that sometimes it takes half an hour to get to the DND. Traffic from four points meets at the base of the Ashram flyover i.e. from Mathura Road side; the turning under the Ashram Flyover; from Jungpura side and of course the Ashram flyover traffic from Lajpat Nagar side. DTC and private bus operators are continuously honking to get their vehicles to the left side even though it says in bold letters 'Bus Stop Aagey Hai'.

“To add to all this chaos are the eternal sales at the Bata Showroom and CTC Plaza on the Ring Road. There are many cars parked haphazardly by the side of the road and hordes of people are always walking past with huge shopping bags. Will someone please do something to ease this eternal traffic caused by the sales (it is further aggravates during the festive season). Needless to say it is a safety hazard, apart from being a great nuisance to daily commuters.

Promila has raised a valid point. I think cops should send cranes to tow away wrongly parked vehicles and should do something to ease traffic movement there. Another mail I received is from Anuj Pathak who writes, “I noticed that at commercial complex in front of Janakpuri Police Station, DDA has placed no parking boards at almost all nearby places. But some group of people right in front of police station and under/near these boards are taking parking money from people. Common people are paying them because they don't want to create scene or don't want to fight.” If it’s happening right under the nose of the police station, I think cops should take action on it. This is totally illegal. If it’s legal by any norms, etc. then cops should get these boards removed.
