Port Blair, Nov. 1: It has come to notice that the area along the stretch from Bhatubasti Junction to Garacharma Junction and Junglighat area have witnessed a surge in commercial activity leading to a significant increase in vehicular traffic. With this growth, the issue of indiscriminate roadside parking by the residents and shopkeepers has become a cause for concern, impacting the flow of traffic and posing safety risks for both pedestrians and drivers.

To challenge this issue, local residents and the shopkeepers have to be united to maintain proper parking and residents are encouraged to park their vehicles in an orderly manner. This will help streamlining parking spaces and prevent vehicles from obstructing the flow of traffic, especially during peak hours.

Hence, the general public and the shopkeepers are hereby advised not to park their vehicles on the road side. A&N Traffic Police is going to conduct special drive to book violators who indulge in obstructive/wrong parking causing inconvenience to the free flow of traffic.
