The issue of traffic congestion in Dera Bassi city, particularly on Gulabgarh Road, has been steadily increasing, causing significant inconvenience to commuters and residents alike. Traffic jams have become a common occurrence in the city, impacting both vehicle drivers and the local population. Recently, a sudden traffic jam occurred on Gulabgarh Road, leaving people stranded for several hours and exacerbating the existing problems in the city.
According to available information, Gulabgarh Road hosts a market for old clothes every Monday, previously located at the Dera Bassi bus stand. However, the administration granted permission to shift the market to Ashok Vatika on Gulabgarh Road due to space constraints. Nevertheless, even this location has proven inadequate, leading to the market spilling onto Mandi Road and causing frequent traffic jams. The congestion has persisted for hours, causing frustration among commuters, including both residents and drivers.The market on Gulabgarh Road is crucial for many city dwellers who pass through this route daily for work. Additionally, the road serves as a thoroughfare for several colonies and colleges. Residents and vehicle operators have appealed to the local administration to promptly address this traffic issue, seeking a swift resolution to alleviate the ongoing difficulties faced by commuters.
