Spl Exclusive Story;Callous Management Turns Bhadarwah Into a Jam Zone, public demands parking Picturesque Bhadarwah is grappling with frequent traffic jams, causing massive inconvenience to residents and visitors alike. Despite the town’s narrow and congested roads, vehicles can be seen parked on both sides, choking movement throughout the day. Locals blame the administration and traffic authorities for failing to manage the situation. Let’s take a look at this report of Raja Rehber Jamal from Bhaderwah… VO:The scenic town of Bhadarwah—known for its beauty and tourist footfall—is now battling a serious traffic crisis. From the New Bus Stand to Pasri via Seri Bazaar, vehicles remain stranded for hours due to rampant roadside parking and narrow stretches. The route that normally takes less than twenty minutes now takes several hours, especially at key choke points including ITI, Old Hospital, Lakshmi Narayan Temple, Ikhwan Chowk, Ganpat Bazaar and other locations. VO:Commuters say the traffic authorities have failed to manage the situation, leaving locals to struggle on their own. They claim that for over a month now, there has been no respite from the chaos. Amir Amin Sheikh, Showroom owner near ITI said, "I have been stuck in the jam for the last half an hour due to wrong parking near ITI. There was no one from the traffic department. We ourselves managed traffic and cleared all vehicles." VO:Locals also point to a lack of coordination between the police and civil administration. They fear that without a practical and long-term traffic management plan, the situation may get worse in the coming days. Amir added that authorities must take action. Paid parking near the market can help reduce jams. VO:People are demanding immediate measures, including the establishment of a dedicated paid parking space to prevent roadside parking and ensure smooth vehicular movement. With daily commuters facing long delays, residents expect urgent intervention from the administration to restore normalcy on Bhadarwah’s roads.
