The people living on Beach Road strongly protest due to the traffic
problem, which has made their lives miserable. One Beach Road was one
way road but now two-way road has been made here, the load of traffic
has also been increased.
These changes were made only last Saturday. These new changes have
produced difficulties. Especially the students are facing great
difficulties in crossing the roads because there are a number of
schools on this road. Parents are also facing problems in picking and
dropping there from schools. All the traffic South to North is passing
from Beach these days. The residents have to wait a longtime to cross
the road.
The Government authorities said that these changes have been
introduced to make betterment in the traffic. When they heard the news
of protest they paid no attention and expected it could be die down
soon. They also refused to install any traffic signals or a Zebra
crossing, or an overhead bridge. The Government said that they were
monitoring the situation and hoped that the situation would become
normal again as the people of this area got used to the new reality.
The committee of the Beach Road associations is arranging a meeting to
discover the way o fulfillment of their demands or to press the
authorities for the cancellation of these new traffic arrangement.
We will have to wait and see where this situation leads to. The
situation is under control and no incident has taken place yet. We
hope that problems facing by the residents of Beach Road will be
solved soon and peacefully.
