The growing presence of commuters deboarding vehicles coming from parallel lanes renders the junction as an accident spot in waiting. The situation tends to be scarier during peak hours (9am to 11am and 6pm to 8pm) when twice the number of buses and people use the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
