Dera Bassi, September 21
After the law department decided to construct the judicial complex near tehsil complex in a congested area, the local residents have been expressing fear of traffic problem becoming more serious.

The residents said the space for construction of the Judicial Complex is around 3 acre including the area of tehsil complex, which was already constructed some years ago.

The main reason of increase in traffic is the busy link road on which this place is situated and the road connects to various villages.

There is no place for parking here, which could cause serious traffic problem.

Some lawyers said the Judicial Complex needs a place of minimum 4 acre, which was also needed according to rules. But here, only over two-acre land was available for the separate judicial complex.

Meanwhile, the Mohali Deputy Commissioner, Varun Roojam, had already asked solution of the traffic problem which would be considered on the preference basis while constructing the new judicial complex here.
