Port
Blair, June 26: Crossing half a kilometre stretch from Clock Tower to Gandhi
Statue (Aberdeen Bazaar) took more than 25 minutes recently. It is not the
matter of single day, but an affair of everyday in the Port Blair city.
"Following
one-way from Ganesh Temple to Rathnam Market (Aberdeen Bazaar) is difficult to
expect the desired flow of traffic. One-way should be maintained from Clock
Tower itself to meet the smooth flow of traffic, particularly at this
area", said a citizen stuck in traffic jam.
"Especially,
the Autowalahs and personal / passenger vehicles are taking advantage to reach
upto Ganesh Temple and found always waiting to make U-turn their vehicle by
disregarding the creation traffic jam at the busiest Aberdeen Bazaar".
"Even the pedestrians could not walk on their way many times, the absence
of traffic cop in such crucial situations, become stumbling block to set right
the traffic jam in the area", another citizen in angry says.
However,
the A&N Traffic Police by understanding the scenario prevailing since many
years in the city should suitably manage or fix the hurdles, particularly
between Clock Tower and Ratnam Market area.
