Nagpada locals take traffic woes to top cop

To get rid of the traffic problems in Claire road, Nagpada, Madanpura, and Sakli street, locals and local corporator Rais Shaikh held a meeting with the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) on Thursday.

In the meeting, various issues regarding the traffic situation in the area came up including the encroachments on the streets despite the narrow roads and illegal parking, and other issues.

The residents claimed that even buses changed their routes because of the situation on the streets.

“Schools in the area have grounds. Despite this, all their buses are parked on the street causing undue traffic congestion. All these issues were discussed by the locals with the authorities. We asked them to chart out a plan for proper management of traffic, including cracking down on illegal parking on roads and a proper system of mapping routes on specific roads to ensure smooth traffic movement,” said local corporator Rais Shaikh.
