Chandigarh Authorities Propose Traffic Measures to Ease Railway Station Congestion
Following concerns raised by Chandigarh MP Manish Tewari about severe traffic congestion near the Chandigarh railway station, a joint survey by UT traffic police, Ambala Railway Division officials, and Chandigarh Road Safety Society experts identified key causes including unauthorized taxi halts, indiscriminate auto-rickshaw activity, and illegal parking. Proposed measures include redesigning the CTU bus stop for parallel bus alignment, shifting the U-turn near the railway light point, and enforcing stricter regulations on vehicle halting and parking to improve traffic flow, especially during peak train times.
