PROGRESS is impossible without a change, and those who can’t change their minds can’t change anything. The residents of Hyderabad are facing hardships owing to traffic jams, especially at Autobahn Road, Thandi Sarak, Wahdat Colony and Garikhata.

The vehicular traffic increases particularly during school timings and there is no one to check this menace.

As a result, one can see people quarrelling and getting involved in all sorts of unruly behaviour. It some time also causes accidents.

The traffic mess has become a major problem.    I would request the authorities concerned to look into the matter to ease the traffic by considering the technical aspects of the problem.
