Udaipur's local residents took action against traffic woes on City Palace Road
They put barricades on the road...
The congestion caused by numerous autos and other vehicles on City Palace Road is causing inconvenience to local residents and business owners. In response to this issue, on Thursday evening at around 4:00 PM, residents took matters into their own hands and installed barricades along the route from Jagdish Chowk to City Palace. Although these barricades were later removed, they symbolized the frustration of the community.
The problem escalates with the starting of the tourism season, as a significant number of auto rickshaw drivers gather outside City Palace. These autos remain parked for hours, creating a nuisance for pedestrians and causing arguments over overtaking. Despite bringing this matter to the attention of the administration a few months ago, no effective solution has been implemented.
Even with designated one-way roads in the Jagdish Chowk area, the flow of three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles persists in all directions. This ongoing issue not only hampers the daily lives of the local residents but also poses challenges for those visiting the City Palace. A collaborative effort between the community and authorities is essential to address and resolve these traffic-related concerns promptly.
