A day after The Tribune highlighted the inconvenience being faced by residents due to barricades, Patiala MLA Ajitpal Singh Kohli today directed the removal of barriers placed on the road leading from Leela Bhawan to Badungar Chowk.

Kohli took the step following a request from the Leela Bhawan Market Association.

The MLA said to address the issue of traffic jams in the city, the traffic police were conducting trials by blocking cuts on several roads to provide relief to residents and passersby.

The MLA said the traffic police had also blocked cuts on the Income Tax Office Road. However, the Leela Bhawan Market Association president Rakesh Jain had demanded that the blockade must be removed as it was causing problems in the market area. Kohli reached the spot and directed the removal of the barricades.
