Speaking about yesterday’s problem regarding Dhaula Kuan flyover, I received another phone call from one Mr Bhatia who says that, “If one comes from S.P. Marg and has to go to Moti Bagh, then one will find lots of buses parked on the left hand side of the flyover. And the left cut for the loop, which connect to Ring Road outside the Transport company office is dangerously narrow. Moreover, it becomes more dangerous when vehicles wanting to go to Moti Bagh come in the way of Gurgaon-going traffic. Something engineering intervention needs to be made in order to improve the situation here, otherwise an accident is waiting to happen here.”

Another mail that I received is from S.S. Mehta who is peeved by the way the traffic cops behave. “On May 20, I sent a request to the traffic police to which got an acknowledgement too but nothing has been done so far. It seems they are waiting for serious accident to happen before they act.”

The mail, which he sent to Traffic Police was, “I am a senior citizen and want to bring gross violation of traffic rules in front of our society to your attention. There is Traffic light in front of the society address of which is given below (B-1/307 SUNRISE APARTMENTS, SECTOR-13, ROHINI). No one wants to stop on the RED LIGHT and if you even remind them the reply is ‘Budhe go your way’. Some times it is even difficult to cross the road on RED LIGHT.

“The school cabs are the ultimate violators. If you want to see the violations, the best time is between 8-9 am, 2-3 pm and later in the evening. My request is that please first appoint some officer of the Traffic Police to persuade the violators not to repeat in future. The officer can come again after two days and if still people violate, book them.”

Regarding the Dhaula Kuan problem, I think it needs some engineering intervention. The other day I faced the same problem here. Since buses keep on standing there one cannot take the left lane. And if you come to the middle lane then one crosses the path of Gurgaon-bound vehicles. So one mistake may lead to an accident. For Mr Mehta’s problem, the cops just need to deploy someone there. These days already they are in a challaning spree. Just few hours at that point and they will mint money like hell and in turn even will put brakes on the law-breakers.
