It was aimed at decongesting the jam-packed roads and ''chaurahas', but it failed to produce the desired result. While the traffic police claim that it was a success, many people, including RWAs, view it as a mere administrative exercise. The focus was on the busiest ''chaurahas' and the worst congested areas like Purana Bus Adda 'chaura- ha', Maliwara Chowk, Turab Nagar Chowk, Chaudhry Morh, Ghanta Ghar, Delhi Gate, Hapur Tiraha, Meerut Road Tiraha, Mohan Nagar 'chauraha', Lal Kuan, in front of Collectorate, Hapur Chungi, Nasirpur Phatak, MM College, New Bus Depot, Bhatia Morh, Rakesh Marg, NH-24 and UP Border. Launching Traffic Month, SP Traffic Anil Kumar said, "Initially we will apply pro- hibitory orders to auto rick- shaws and automobiles in order to bring about some diversions. Later, we will take up the errant and heavy vehicles, so that there would be smooth traf- fic in coming days." Since then they have applied sev- eral procedures but traffic remains on the same track. Stereotyped action At initial stages, SSP Akhil Kumar had clearly ordered his men to follow the soft technique while they were going to teach the traffic lessons to the people. Instead of getting him right, most traffic per- sonnel used to enforce the agenda on bikers and inno- cent vehicle owners. They failed to control the errant autos, 'dagga- mar' vehicles, trucks and trolleys. These errant vehicles went on moving in their usual style. During this Road Safety Month, 31 persons died, while more than three dozen children, men and women were badly injured. In real terms, police confined themselves only to checking and issuing challan to vehi- cle owners. They failed to remove the encroachers from the roads, though they claimed that it was also an anti-encroachment drive. Training camps were organised at several schools and colleges of the city to educate the youngsters on traffic discipline, but as usual it was an exercise in futility, since these young drivers were in no mood to learn. Instead, they just needed harsh punishment. Police were trying to edu- cate the public through Traffic still 'off track' posters during the Traffic Month. Pollution checking camp, green card camp, blood group camp and even insurance camps were organised but all went unnoticed due to the dis- missive attitude of the police personnel. One could see the over- loaded public transports, sirens pressure, red and blue hooters lights, and black glasses on cars and faulty number plates on many vehicles. SP, Traffic, Anil Kumar finally accept- ed the truth that the traf- fic jam was the biggest challenge before the city. He said, "We got sponta- neous result on various roads immediately after removing the encroachment. And we are committed to doing so in days to come." Traffic at a glance Bulldozers and atten- tive police pickets could not deter the people who were always responsible to create insecuri- ty and indiscipline on the roads. A large number of RWA members have lodged com- plaints to the DM of the city about these fake checking on various roads. Kuldeep Saxena, a senior member of the Federation of Indirapuram RWA, has sharply reacted to this recently concluded Traffic Month. He said, "At most of the 'chaurahas', traf- fic police stopped every driv- er in the name of checking documents instead of telling him or her about traffic rules in a dignified manner." Admits Sunil Srivastava, ADM, city, "By taking les- sons from previous experi- ences, we realise that the Traffic Month did not come up to our expectations due to lack of co-ordination among different departments." During this Road Safety Month, 31 per- sons died, while over three dozen children, men and women were badly injured. Traffic moving at a snail’s pace. PARAS KUMAR

Contrary to expecta-tions, the TrafficMonth launched

with much fanfare inNovember did not makeany impact in the city. Itwas aimed at decongestingthe jam-packed roads and''chaurahas', but it failed toproduce the desired result.

While the traffic policeclaim that it was a success,many people, includingRWAs, view it as a mereadministrative exercise.The focus was on thebusiest ''chaurahas' and theworst congested areas likePurana Bus Adda 'chaura-ha', Maliwara Chowk,Turab Nagar Chowk,Chaudhry Morh, GhantaGhar, Delhi Gate, HapurTiraha, Meerut RoadTiraha, Mohan Nagar'chauraha', Lal Kuan, infront of Collectorate, HapurChungi, Nasirpur Phatak,MM College, New BusDepot , Bhat ia Morh ,

Rakesh Marg, NH-24 andUP Border.

Launching Traffic Month,SP Traffic Anil Kumar said,"Initially we will apply pro-hibitory orders to auto rick-shaws and automobiles inorder to bring about somediversions. Later, we willtake up the errant andheavy vehicles, so thatthere would be smooth traf-fic in coming days." Sincethen they have applied sev-eral procedures but trafficremains on the same track.

Stereotyped actionAt initial stages, SSP

Akhil Kumar had clearlyordered his men to followthe soft technique whilethey were going to teachthe traffic lessons to thepeople. Instead of gettinghim right, most traffic per-sonnel used to enforce theagenda on bikers and inno-cent vehicle owners. Theyfailed to control the errant

autos, 'dagga-mar' vehicles,t rucks andt r o l l e y s .These errantvehicles wenton moving intheir usual style.

Dur ing th i sRoad Safety Month,31 persons died, whilemore than three dozenchildren, men and womenwere badly injured. In realterms, police confinedthemselves only to checkingand issuing challan to vehi-

c l eowners. They failed toremove the encroachersfrom the roads, though theyclaimed that it was also ananti-encroachment drive.

Training camps wereorganised at several schoolsand colleges of the city toeducate the youngsters ontraffic discipline, but asusual it was an exercise infutility, since these youngdrivers were in no mood tolearn. Instead, they justneeded harsh punishment.

Police were trying to edu-cate the public through

Traffic still 'off track'posters during the TrafficMonth. Pollution checkingcamp, green card camp,blood group camp and eveninsurance camps wereorganised but all wentunnoticed due to the dis-missive attitude of thepolice personnel.
