Indore Over-Bridge Fails to Solve Bengali Square Traffic Woes
Imagine a bridge built to help cars go over a busy spot in Indore.
The idea was to make traffic flow faster, but it didn't work.
The bridge is missing stairs, so buses can't use it.
Buses are still using the regular road, causing big traffic jams because they stop to pick up and drop people off.
People are stuck in traffic for a long time and are not happy.
A person suggests adding lifts to the bridge and making sure buses can't use the road anymore.
This, they say, would help to solve the problem.
An over-bridge at Bengali Square in Indore, built to ease traffic, is ineffective.
The bridge lacks stairways, preventing city buses from using it, causing traffic jams.
Buses continue using the service road, stopping at the square to pick up and drop passengers.
Local residents and commuters express frustration over persistent traffic delays.
A social activist suggests installing lifts and restricting bus access to the service road.
