What is happening in the city?
Shuvro, On e-mail
Things are getting worse day by day in the city. I am talking about Palassi intersection, one of the many places in the city that the city bosses have earmarked for better movement of vehicles. For about four years, I have been moving through this place, but I have never seen such a disgusting stalemate, except during the four occasions of Pahela Baisakh that I experienced. Five automatic signal systems have been activated here recently in addition to deployment of four traffic police personnel. But the result has not been very different. I have never waited even for a single minute in this place, but now I have to wait for about 4-5 minutes to cross it. So, what is the outcome of the investment for installation of these automatic signal systems? What is actually happening in the city? What are the traffic managers doing? What kind of study had they conducted for this type of investment here? Let's not hear from them, after some time, that the rickshaw is the main culprit for this congestion. We surely had a better situation previously. Let's have a realistic thought before initialising such improvement plans, which often turn out to be rather counter productive.
