Traffic woes in Hisar: Traffic movement in various parts of the city has again become chaotic weeks after the police ended its campaign against traffic violations. Most two-wheeler drivers ride without a helmet and triple riding has become a rule rather than the exception. Overtaking from the wrong side and haphazard parking are other banes for the city residents.
Although the traffic policemen are stationed at most of the crossings in the city, they limit themselves to ensuring smooth movement of traffic. Violators of traffic rules are not challaned.
