Dhanbad: Fed up of the congestion that they have to face due to e-rickshaws entering the narrow streets of Purana Bazar, the traders carried out a joint inspection of the traffic jam site along with the traffic police, under the leadership of Traffic DSP, Rajesh Kumar. The inspection was to impose ‘no entry’ of auto rickshaw in the market area.

The two-hour long inspection conducted between 12.30 pm to 2.30 pm, the office bearers of Purana Bazar Chamber of Commerce led by its president, Ajay Narayan Lal and secretary, Srikant Agarwal were present. They also decided on the new route of the e rickshaw and auto rickshaw movement from outside the market.

Immediately after the demarcation of route chart, the traffic DSP ordered for the preparation and installation of signboards at the entry and exit point of the market to apprise the e rickshaw and auto rickshaw operators as well as common people about the new traffic arrangement.

The new regulation will come into effect within two to three days. The traffic police held a meeting with the e- rickshaw and auto rickshaw unions.

Talking to The Telegraph Online Agarwal said, “Ours is the most congested market in the district. We have around 1000 shops situated along the narrow streets. We perpetually face traffic congestion. However, with the e-rickshaw replacing the auto rickshaw in Joraphatak Barmasia route, the situation has only aggravated.”

When Traffic DSP was contacted, he said, “Purana Bazar market in quite congested. e-rickshaws have further added on to the woes of the common people. Hence we have decided on a new route for e rickshaw movement. They won’t be allowed to enter the market area.”
