Write an email to the editor of Shillong times complaining about the bad traffic in Shillong
Answers
Answer:
On the eve of a VVIP’s visit, Shillong sees a flurry of arrangements, including traffic re-arrangements. Vehicular movement comes to a standstill; footpaths are ‘decorated’; with more than five police officers standing next to a single traffic police booth! These are exercises that tax the patience and goodwill of the citizenry.Normal life is thrown completely out of gear and social media is abuzz with reports of traffic jams in and around Ward’s Lake. Every governor of a Northeastern state is accompanied by a posse of police personnel. This prompted a woman in a bus to comment on the number of police officers manning a single junction (at the Kench’s Trace lane). She mocked the cops as almost all of them moved constantly to stop vehicles shouting at drivers on top of their voices. After a while, the vehicles moved but at Mawbynna (near State Central Library) again a fleet of vehicles were stopped before heading towards Barik. On reaching Barik, vehicles were again stopped.This experience for the SJ team as commuters was a little peculiar considering it was a drill prior to the VVIP’s visit.
And now for the real show!
On the D-Day of Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit the SJ team saw several pedestrians at Rilbong Point being stopped and not allowed to walk ahead. People were seen moving up and down listlessly wondering why they were stopped. This security drill is unprecedented they were heard saying. “Many VIPs have come, seen and stayed in Meghalaya but never has there been such levels of public inconvenience,” they muttered.
Others sat on the footpath chatting and waiting their turn to be released from temporary confinement.
Many that booked cab rides that day must’ve wished that they rather walked as vehicles, reportedly, were made to halt for hours together. But again that would mean taking detours across the city.
