Even as the State Government has tightened the traffic rules under the MV Act from January 1, despite the tall claims by the concerned agencies, the traffic system in Bhubaneswar continues to remain chaotic. It is no surprise that accidents continue to spiral and the roads have turned deathtraps. But no steps are being taken by the concerned agencies to resolve the problems which have led to the mess.
Encroachments and illegal parking on busy roads like on the Janpath, the stretch from Rasulgarh to Kalpana Square (due to the malls, liquor shops, bars and restaurants) and, Rajmahal Square to AG Square, CRPF Square to Unit-8 DAV School(due to the vending zones on both sides of the roads)
