Autorickshaws add to congestion on Ludhiana roads, create traffic mess

Hindustan Times  

: The encroachment by auto and e-rickshaws outside the city bus stand and railway station is adding up to the congestion on city roads as a large number of autos could be seen lined up to ferry passengers, leading to chaos and inconvenience to commuters. As the city roads are already facing congestion, these encroachments not only add to the problem but also create traffic blockades and jams for motorists throughout the day. The city bus stand sees a footfall of around 40,000 people, while the railway station sees a footfall of 100,000 people, including migrants, on peak days. Due to the encroachment, it takes over 10 minutes extra for the bus to reach the bus stand and deboarding the bus is a problem as the roadside is flooded with auto-rickshaws.” Explaining the gravity of the situation at the railway station, Mrinal Kumar, a resident of Jamalpur shared that the problem of encroachments outside the railway station is so severe that it is common to get stuck there during evening hours.
