NOIDA: A day before lockdown restrictions are eased in the city, over 80 members of the District Development Residents Welfare Association (DDRWA), Yuva Vyapar Mandal, NGOs and other organisations held a meeting with DCP (traffic) Ganesh Saha to discuss traffic management.
Among the issues that were discussed was the suspension of licences for repeat offenders, deputing traffic personnel around weekly markets, fixing the numbers and routes of auto and e-rickshaw passengers, challans for unauthorised buses, trucks and other big vehicles, free parking in sector markets and so on.
“We held an online meeting on the traffic situation in the city and how to curb the issues related to it.
We also raised concerns about regular traffic congestion on MP 2 elevated road and the need for signboards specifying no parking zones.
Also, information should be provided regarding the fine amount for violations,” said NP Singh, president of DDRWA.
Others suggested streamlining the traffic in Greater Noida near Pari Chowk and action on e-rickshaws and passenger autos for violation of traffic rules, immediate rectification of defective lights at various places in the city and installation of CCTV cameras at major intersections.
“We also demanded regulated parking lanes in society markets and at sectors with high rise apartment complexes,” said Anil Singh, member participant.
While DCP Saha assured action on all points, he asked for resident and RWA volunteers to help maintain traffic rules in their sectors and feedback on the traffic personnel working in their sectors for improvement.
