In the past when Basant Rath was IG Traffic, traffic used to be well regulated by traffic police with very less traffic jams. But at present you could not predict the duration of your trip before leaving home . The fact of that those moments have passed. They are gone. What’s lacking are sincerity and professional approach of Traffic police Jammu to regulate traffic system. Leaving improvement in traffic entirely to concerned authorities is an unfair preposition playing in a blame game. Criticism is easy suggesting a viable solution needs mastery. There are no easy answers to the problems of traffic congestion. Traffic jams cause inconvenience to the people of Jammu. With this in background the write-up intended primarily focusing on analyzing the traffic congestion scenario of the Jammu city and possible solutions. However, the frequent VVIPs and VIPs movements in the cities are posing inconvenience to people to move on city roads. Surprisingly, one failed to understand why traffic police has switched off traffic lights in many crossings and seen regulating traffic manually. In a city with moral decline at its peak and suggesting morality as a cultural system every evil the sight of which edifies a God is justified. Traffic misbehavior reflects overall moral decline in our Society. Just drive on any road you are victim of erratic driving habits, ignorance on how to take over, how to keep minimum distance between two vehicles, lane driving, use of higher beams during night, improper parking etiquettes in narrow lane colonies, and in front of other house, shops, Malls overstepping queues in traffic jams, driving with mobile phone on near ear with neck bended with a child in lap. Is there any speed check radar in city? Oh these speeding killing machines they call them matadors, motor bikes they overtake you with a lethal acrobatics. Disturbing are traffic etiquette and behaviour, as they can contribute to accidents, congestion, and an overall unpleasant driving experience, we expect Traffic authorities besides enforcing traffic regulations strictly have to be proactive shall upload educative videos, pamphlets, conduct some awareness campaign. It should be mandatory to keep a mobile number on the dashboard if at times you are compelled to park your vehicle in front of other house with space constraints you can be called.
At the time of issuing Registration certificate and driving licence to a person people must be tell about that if you parked your vehicle in front of other house a police complaint of Wrongful restraint under Section of the BNS against the person who owns the vehicle or who parked the vehicle at wrong place.
