Experts roped in for busy trafffic crossings
Jaipur: To address growing traffic congestion, the Jaipur Commissionerate's traffic department plans to engage a traffic institution for expert solutions at two major city junctions—the MI Road–Tonk Road Junction near the Yadgar traffic headquarters and the Govt Hostel Crossing near the Commissionerate headquarters. Officials said the rapid increase in vehicular traffic has turned these crossings into daily bottlenecks. The situation is expected to worsen with the upcoming construction of Jaipur Metro Line 2 by the Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC). The main line will pass through the Govt Hostel Crossing, while a spur from Chandpole Gate will link Line 1 and Line 2 at the same point. JMRC also has plans for metro connectivity to Ajmeri Gate. DCP (traffic) Shaheen C confirmed that preliminary surveys and measures have been implemented. "We are now seeking expert technical input and will appoint a third-party agency to suggest solutions. Institutions like MNIT and others are under consideration," she said. Meanwhile, the traffic department installed sensor-enabled signals at these two crossings. Such signals are installed at a few other crossings in the city, like the Rambagh Circle. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "The time limits (for green or red) at these signals are not pre-set. These signals determine the volume of traffic on each flank and glow red or green according to the requirement. Recently, we installed these signals at these two crossings. Traffic movements at both crossings improved to some extent following the installations," said a senior traffic official. The traffic department also decided to install signals with illuminated poles at all the traffic signals across the city. This technology enables the lighting on the entire pole to be synchronized with the signal, which helps motorists to have a view of the signal, even if they are stranded behind a bigger vehicle.

Clear encroachments to widen major city roads: Experts to JDA
1 2 Jaipur: As traffic in Jaipur is increasing by leaps and bounds, experts and officials of Urban Development Department believe that JDA and other civic bodies should clear encroachments to widen all major roads in the city. They assert that, according to the city's Master Plan, almost all major roads are encroached upon with permanent or temporary constructions. The list includes even a stretch of Sirsi Road – starting from Hatwara Road Tiraha to Tank Road Tiraha, comprising Hasanpura area. "There are encroachments on Ajmer Road, Sirsi Road, Kalwar Road, Mahal Road, the 80-Feet Road in Arjun Nagar, Gopalapura Bypass Road, and on the Jhalana Bypass. To be precise, you name any major road of the city, you would find the roads are encroached upon and the width is far less than the master plan of JDA. With traffic growing significantly, the civic bodies shall ensure to remove these encroachments before they start acquiring govt papers," said a senior traffic official from Jaipur Commissionerate, on condition of anonymity. Neha Khullar, project director of Muskan Foundation for Road Safety, said, such encroachments not only cause traffic congestion but are also vulnerable to road accidents. These encroachments, permanent or temporary were the main cause of several recent road accidents on city roads Speaking to TOI, a senior JDA town planner claimed that these problems occur due to a lack of coordination with JDA, other civic bodies, and other departments of the state govt.

"It has been observed that whenever the encroachment department went for an eviction drive, the shopkeepers showed them valid licences claiming their structures as 'legal'. It results in a legal battle, and we are left with no options other than the court's directive. In the case of this Sirsi Road eviction, the drive became possible only after strong directives from the division bench of Justice Inderjeet Singh and Justice Anand Sharma," the town planner said.

Crackdown continues on illegal Bangladeshis
Jaipur: City police intensified their crackdown on illegal Bangladeshi nationals with a second consecutive day of coordinated searches and interrogations across multiple parts of the city Thursday. The drive follows heightened security directives issued by chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma Wednesday, instructing police to identify and deport foreign nationals residing illegally in the state. According to officials, Wednesday's operation was launched across all four districts under Jaipur Commissionerate from 4am to 8am. The raids were conducted discreetly, based on confidential intelligence inputs, and were supervised by additional commissioner of police (law and order) Rameshwar Singh, under the overall monitoring of police commissioner Biju George Joseph. "We detained over 100 individuals Wednesday. Preliminary verification shows at least 35 of them were in possession of forged documents . We are now examining their mobile data, WhatsApp activity, call records, and financial transactions linked to Bangladesh," said an official. Those found residing illegally are being moved to the Alwar detention centre. Deportation proceedings will be initiated following document verification. Police are also probing the network of agents and individuals who allegedly facilitated the procurement of fake Aadhaar cards, Jan Aadhaar, PAN cards, and voter IDs for these immigrants. Sources said areas like Hasanpura, Daulpura, and Bhankrota have emerged as high-risk zones with a significant concentration of undocumented foreign nationals. In a similar operation in Oct last year, 11 Bangladeshi nationals were deported from Bhankrota for illegal residency. Officials added that Thursday's follow-up action included interrogation of the individuals detained a day earlier. "Some of them claimed to possess valid documents, but we are verifying their authenticity," said an officer.
