पटना के प्रमुख चौराहा जैसे गांधी मैदान, कारगिल चौक और बाकरगंज मोड़ के पास हर दिन लोग जाम में फंसे रहते हैं. कड़ी धूप में वाहनों की लंबी कतार लग जाती है. हर दिन जाम की स्थिति से लोग परेशान रहते हैं, जिससे न तो पुलिस को मतलब रहता है और न ही ट्रैफिक पुलिस को. लेकिन जब बीते बुधवार की शाम एसएसपी राजीव मिश्रा जाम में फंसे और कारगिल चौक की स्थिति देखी तो वह खुद उतर कर पहले तो इ-रिक्शा चालक पर कार्रवाई की. बाद में चालान काट दिया. साहब के फंसने के बाद गुरुवार को ट्रैफिक पुलिस व परिवहन विभाग एक्टिव मोड में आ गया और विशेष चेकिंग अभियान चलाकर स्टेशन रोड पर 59 ऑटो व इ-रिक्शा का चार लाख 73 हजार रुपये का चालान काट दिया. लेकिन दूसरी तरफ उस अभियान का कोई असर नहीं दिखा. पूरे दिन कारगिल चौक से लेकर स्टेशन गोलंबर तक ऑटो व इ-रिक्शा चालक बीच सड़क पर ही यात्रियों को उतारते चढ़ाते रहे. कारगिल चौक पर ऐसी स्थिति रही कि ऑटो और इ-रिक्शा पूरे दिन बीच सड़क पर जाम लगाते रहे. विशेष चेकिंग अभियान के दौरान स्टेशन रोड पर ट्रैफिक व परिवहन विभाग के वरीय अधिकारियों के साथ दो टीमें थीं. ट्रैफिक एसपी अनिल कुमार ने बताया कि इ-रिक्शा चलाने वाले ज्यादातर ड्राइवर अंडर एज हैं. इसके अलावा उनके पास कोई परमिट नहीं है, जिसकी वजह से वह किसी भी जगह पर इ-रिक्शा लेकर पहुंच जाते हैं और पैसेंजर को बैठाते हैं. उन्होंने बताया कि विशेष चेकिंग अभियान लगातार जारी रहेगा. पटना के विभिन्न चौक-चौराहों पर यह अभियान चलाया जायेगा. शुक्रवार को कारगिल चौक पर विशेष चेकिंग अभियान चलाया जायेगा. प्रभात खबर ने गुरुवार को कारगिल चौक की स्थिति की पड़ताल की. करीब दो घंटे की पड़ताल में पाया गया कि एसएसपी के जाम में फंसने से लेकर उसके बाद तक कोई भी ब...

The situation worsens, especially during afternoon and evening hours when school buses transport kids back home and office-goers return from workplaces. Apart from traffic snarls, the chaotic parking often leads to scuffle between motorists. Several people complained that the traffic police seldom deal sternly with the offenders or regulate traffic on narrow roads, especially where construction work has been going on. Abhilash Kumar, a resident of Kadamkuan, complained, “There is extremely little space for motorists because cars are parked on both sides of the road, resulting in massive traffic congestion on Ashok Rajpath. The two-lane road has already been reduced to one due to ongoing construction of double-decker flyover and metro station. Despite that, autorickshaws, e-rickshaws and buses stop in the middle of the road to take or drop passengers.” A resident of Ramna Road, Mohit Aggarwal said it took him almost one and a half hours to reach home from workplace at Boring Canal Road. “The traffic movement is almost paralysed on all major roads during the evening hours. Traffic moves at a snail’s pace near Gandhi Maidan, Ashok Rajpath, Fraser Road, Bailey Road and Langar Toli. Illegal parking and wrong-side driving are two major reasons behind traffic jam,” he said. Many schoolchildren also suffer as their school buses, vans and autos are often stuck in the traffic congestion in Patliputra, Ashiana, Digha, Ashok Rajpath, Boring Road, Kankarbagh and bypass areas.

They said the state government should issue new permit for urban areas and stop harassing drivers and collecting fine in the name of Motor Vehicles Act. Raj Kumar Jha, general secretary of All India Road Transport Workers' Federation- Bihar, said around 42,000 autos and 28,000 e-rickshaws remained off the roads. "Even some private bus operators also joined the protest. We are on strike to protest the high-handedness of the traffic police against auto and e-rickshaw drivers. We also want the transport department to roll back its decision to fix route for public transport," he said. Transport minister Sheela Kumari said the decision to fix auto and e-rickshaw routes was taken to decongest the roads, so that the people will not face the heavy traffic rush. "Due to haphazard parking and increasing number of public vehicles on major routes, people are facing traffic jam. Everyone should come forward and contribute to this initiative. What we are doing is for the people's interest and the three-wheelers will have to follow the rule to ensure that others do not face the problem while commuting in the city," she said. Kumari added, "Solution to any problem is found by talking, not by protesting or...
