Nice move by the District Administration but shy away from removing the footpath Hawkers where their business transactions leading to traffic congestion
Not only this stretch, all the main roads shall be made like this. Also, stoppage of local taxi must be regulated with strict compliance.
what about hawkers. is it even legal. these people pay no taxes to the government & make the roads busier narrower.
What about the red buses parking on the roadside from Assembly’s Library to PB point? That causes the maximum traffic jam.
