Jammu matador drivers cause inconvenience to public, students
4/25/2007 11:39:10 PM

Jammu April 25
While Delhi High Court has tightened its noose on the erring transporters and drivers engaged in the Public Transport and the drivers in Delhi the national capital, the public conveyance in Jammu are flouting set traffic norms.
Be it overloading or the rash driving and making people to ride on their mercy, is what the majority Jammuities felt.
It takes almost an hour to reach to the Trikutanagar from Panjtrithi courtesy unauthorized stoppages at various points and for the longer duration. “It is really unbearable and awful for the commuters in sizzling summers, rued a commuter.
Not only this the irritating behaviour from the conductors especially to student community provoking and belligerent, but also is argumentative making you to go insane at times, lamented Rajesh Kumar a student of 12th standard.
He said these conductors at times challenge your identity as student and even claims that no student concession will be made available on Sundays and other Holidays.
His classmate Arshad Mirza of Gandhinagar, also opined the same and said it was really provoking when you are with your family members or elders. The duo also blamed the traffic Police for turning a back to these issues and harping the same old tunes of inadequate human resources to meet the increasing pressure of traffic on roads.
Jammuities also flayed the traffic and RTO officials for issuance of the driving licenses to ‘rowdy and funky’ drivers who show their presence on the road only by pressing the pressure horns and the screaming brakes on the road making passers by to gasp for the breaths at times.
An aged person Prem Nath Sharma simply asked a genuine query, “ if state and union government provides concession to the senior citizens in railway and air journeys why these people deny this (Jab State Aur Center Government Bujargho (Old) Ko Hawai Aur Rail Ke Safar Main Concession Deti Hai To Yeh Log Kyo Mana Karte Hai).
Anupama Verma a school teacher resented that knowing the fact that every day one or two persons die of road mishaps especially by rash driving, these people drive rashly and even were busy in fixing their FM Radio/Cassette Players or even were chatting over their mobile on their way on the ever busy Jammu Kathua and Jammu Srinagar highway. This needs to be stopped at earliest before it is too late, she said.
