As Kashmir witnesses fresh snowfall, MET declares 'red alert'
A view of snowfall in southern Kashmir's Pulwama town

PULWAMA — With the number of vehicles increasing every day, traffic management is becoming a daunting task for the authorities in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, especially on the road leading to District Hospital Pulwama.

Locals, while talking with CNS, said that the reason behind the mess is the lack of parking places and encroachment of pathways.

“At several places, haphazard parking of vehicles hampers traffic movement. Some shopkeepers even park their vehicles in markets, which also leads to traffic jams and causes inconvenience to us,” they said, adding, “It is high time that the concerned authorities wake up from slumber and restore the traffic system.”

Zahoor Ahmad, a local resident, said that vendors and shopkeepers are occupying the pathways due to which pedestrians are forced to walk on the already narrow roads and it takes half an hour to cover just a few hundred meters and it’s become very difficult for patients to reach the hospital on time.

Due to the unavailability of parking places in the main town Pulwama, people often park their vehicles on roadsides which causes long and frequent traffic jams.

The locals have requested the administration to look into the matter and take steps so that the public can heave a sigh of relief and identify space for a car parking facility in the main town Pulwama.
