What our readers say: Improper parking leads to traffic jams

The issue of improper parking, including vehicles stopping by the roadside, has become a major source of inconvenience for traffic movement in many parts of the city. The parking of commercial and private vehicles on both sides of the road frequently reduces the space available for traffic, often leaving only enough room for a single vehicle to pass. This leads to frequent traffic jams and snarls on both main roads and internal streets in commercial and industrial areas. While the problem can occur at any time of day, it becomes particularly severe during peak hours when traffic volume is highest. The lack of effective traffic regulation and insufficient enforcement against offenders has aggravated the situation. There is a pressing need for authorities to issue more challans and take stronger action to curb this growing problem. —Devender Singh, Faridabad

Stray cattle take over highways in Gurugram

Perhaps Millennium City is the only place where cattle compete for space with Audis, BMWs and Mercedes on its bustling roads, all while skyscrapers loom in the background. This bizarre sight is not only shocking but also a serious safety hazard that must be addressed urgently. Stray cattle often occupy more than half of the main highways, yet the traffic police are conspicuously absent. Who will take responsibility if these animals suddenly become aggressive and collide with speeding vehicles? The National Highways Authority of India needs to implement access-controlled highways, especially within urban areas, to prevent such dangerous situations. —Ramesh Gupta, Gurugram
