Where there is a Traffic Jam.......somewhere in the vicinity is a bunch of COPS!!
I know the roads have been getting worse by the day,now we've reached a point where there is no road anymore. You dont even know what surface you're riding/driving on,but u at least got from place A to place B(althought you might've intended to reach place F,but you at least get to B) in a certain period of time.
For example,however bad the roads were,I always reached office or got back from office in about 20 minutes plus or minus 5.Thats 11 km's in about 20 minutes,which I dont think is so bad after all,considering i take the "peeche ka rasta" which I mentioned in my earlier post.
But off late,after the recent raves and rants about the roads n the traffic jams its been taking me even LONGER to get to office.
Nope,the reasons not coz the roads have gotten worse,trust me they can't possibly get worse.If any more road gets eroded,Im sure we'll find the remains of some ancient civilization somewhere.
Alright,so after those "raves and rants" about the road,the solution that the government could come up with,or at least an attempt at a solution,was to have COPS,yeah,you read that right,COPS AT EVERY FUCKING TRAFFIC INFESTED JUNCTION!!
HOW DOES THAT SOLVE THE PROBLEM???Ever since these pot bellied,White n Khaki(yup,even the women) creatures have been deployed at every junction,the traffic in the city has gone MAD.Its just reached a whole new level of Lunacy.
These guys have ABSOLUTELY no idea of whats going on or what needs to be done.Their easiest solution is to divert traffic in particular directions which aren't so packed,but little do they realise that EVERY COP IN PUNE has the same idea,so that road becomes even worse than any of the normal roads.
They stop traffic even if the signal is in their favour to let some HUGE ASS Tanker or Truck or something Monstrous to pass by,n then the entire traffic sits trailing it coz the road's not wide enough to overtake.
I actually saw this happen last evening when it took me one n a half hour to scale those 11 km's... all 4 cops at all 4 roads meeting at the "chowk" were all directing traffic in 4 opposite directions,so basically everyone was stationary at the same time n everyone was in motion also at the same time,only till they reached the middle of the "chowk",where again there were fights as to whose right of way it was.
If I wasn't part of that traffic jam,I'm sure id be laughing my BALLS off at the sight.
I know there have been several suggestions as to what can be done to improve the traffic situation in Pune,but I sincerely think we need to get RID of these Cops FIRST.
