- No action is being taken against drivers obstructing traffic
- Traffic police busy in challaning
Bhopal: Traffic system has collapsed due to the arbitrariness of auto drivers at Board Office crossing, to which the police is not paying any attention. The job of the police is to maintain the traffic system, so that the general public does not have to face any kind of trouble.
Despite this, common passengers are facing difficulty in passing through that square daily. Because auto drivers are parking their autos anywhere. In the race to pick up passengers and to park the auto ahead of each other, they occupy more than half the road with their autos. Due to which not only pedestrians but also drivers face problems while walking on that road. The police personnel present at the intersection are so busy in challaning other vehicles that they do not pay attention to these auto drivers. The police personnel present there says that the traffic police officer called the president of the auto union and warned him, so everything went well for a few days, after a few days they all started doing the same thing again.
They enter the wrong lane to pick up their passengers, due to which the chances of an accident increase. And they pick up so many passengers in their auto at a time that while passing by we have to see that their passengers do not get hurt.

We have explained to all the auto drivers many times before that you should do your business, pick up passengers but do not break any rules or laws. Even after explaining so much, there has been no improvement in their attitude, now strict action will be taken against them. The amount of fine against auto drivers who do not follow the rules is going to be doubled, where earlier the fine was Rs 250. Now, for breaking the rules, they will have to pay Rs 500. Those auto drivers who park their auto anywhere as per their wish, now it may cost them heavy to park their auto anywhere.
– Basant Kumar Kaul, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police
They stand with their autos in the middle of the road
They stand with their autos in the middle of the road, it is very difficult to pass out. They stop in the middle of the road and do not give any space to any vehicle from behind. Due to which there is a traffic jam in the evening.
