Srinagar, Jan 17 (KNO): The residents of Chattabal area here have appealed to the authorities to shift the fish market near Police Post Bagiya, which they say have led to persistent traffic congestion and inconvenience to the pedestrians. Locals from Chattabal, Srinagar, speaking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), alleged that the shoppers who stop their vehicles near the market occupy a significant portion of the road, thereby leading to the traffic chaos in the locality. “The fish vendors usually occupy the roadsides, leaving little space for the vehicles and pedestrians, but the shoppers who visit the market in their vehicles further worsen the situation. It has become a daily struggle to pass through this area,” said Mukhtar, a local resident. Another resident, Fareeda Begum, said the narrow road is already prone to accidents. With the vendors and their makeshift stalls blocking the way, it’s become extremely dangerous for schoolchildren and elderly people. “The situation gets further worsening as the fish vendors pour water on the roads, which lead to the slippery condition and thus become prone to the accidents further,” she said. Meanwhile, the residents urged the administration to relocate the fish market to a designated area so that the traffic movement is eased and the locals could heave a sigh of relief—(KNO)
