Police and civic authorities in Alipurduar town will draw up a plan to reduce traffic congestion at the insistence of MLA Sourav Chakraborty.
They have also decided to visit busy thoroughfares and crossings of the town to check out the situation during rush hours and take steps to ensure smooth vehicular movement.
MLA Chakraborty said he had received a number of complaints from residents about rush hour snarls on arterial roads. “They say it is difficult to move on vehicles or on foot. They allege footpaths are encroached by shops, trucks move during the day and vehicles are parked on roads to load and unload goods. I have taken up the issue with the SDO and we will do a survey on August 28. Then the police will enforce suitable curbs,” Chakraborty added.
