The Punjab government could not keep its promise to open Kalma Chowk for routine traffic on 10th January. Motorists are facing the worst traffic situation due to extensive construction activities. <\/p>\n
Kalma is one of the busiest intersections on Ferozepur Road that connects a number of important residential and commercial localities. The intersection was closed for 20 days for the completion of a small stretch of Metro Bus System corridor, a bus station and Kalma Chowk underpass. <\/p>\n
The closure of the intersection has intensified traffic congestion in the city, provoking people to criticise the construction of a number of projects. Keeping in view the current construction status, the intersection is unlikely to be opened by 25th January. <\/p>\n
An official said that traders, school goers, government and private sector employees are the worst hit segments due to the prevailing situation and the concerned department does not care their miseries. <\/p>\n
The closure is not just wasting precious time of the citizens but also increasing their mobility expenses. Therefore, everyone is waiting for the opening of underpasses and the intersection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
