News India Live, Digital Desk: Apart from its Tata Steel plant, Jamshedpur is also known for its organized market. Sakchi is the life of this place, where thousands of people come every day to shop. But this crowd has now become a big problem and that is Traffic and Parking,
Something else on the map, something else on the ground!
Investigation by the administration (JNAC – Jamshedpur Axis) revealed that these 27 shops have blatantly flouted the ‘Building Bylaws’. According to the rules, the lower part of these buildings i.e. basement parking Was to be used for. But in the pursuit of profit, small shops were built there. The result was that customers started parking their cars on the road and there was traffic jam in the city.
Notice period is over, now it’s the turn of the stick!
The shopkeepers say that they have been doing their business here for years and it is unfair to them to remove them suddenly. However, the administration’s argument is very clear – ‘There will be no compromise on encroachment’. These shopkeepers were given notices several times and given a chance to be heard, but no concrete solution was found. Now JNAC has made full preparations to run the bulldozer along with the police force.
Mixed reaction from general public
Those people of the city who are troubled by the traffic jam at Sakchi every day, are calling this action right. He believes that if parking opens, traffic will reduce. At the same time, local people and business organizations are worried that the future and investment of 27 families will be ruined.
What will happen next?
Files are moving fast in the administrative corridors of Jamshedpur. It is being told that a team has been formed which will check the maps not only in Sakchi but also in areas like Mango and Golmuri where shops are set up at the places designated for parking.
Right now the atmosphere is very hot and the next one or two days are going to be very important for the future of the roads and shopkeepers of Jamshedpur. The hope is that the administration will try to find a middle path between rules and human sensitivities, but at the moment the wind is blowing in the direction of ‘bulldozer’.
