Traffic now flows smooth at Narayan Singh Circle in city

Jaipur: Narayan Singh Circle on Tonk Road now has little traffic congestion as the city police and Jaipur Municipal Corporation - Greater (JMC-H) have removed all temporary encroachments from there days after the bus terminal was shifted from the site.
With the bus kiosks, temporary vendors and a bus shed all removed, traffic was seen flowing smoothly on flanks of the road at Narayan Singh Circle Friday. Vehicles from Rambagh Circle and Ajmeri Gate sides proceeding towards Govind Marg navigated the crossing without hindrance.
With the bus terminal shifted, there were no parked auto-rickshaws, e-rickshaws, two-wheelers and passengers waiting for or alighting from buses as before at Narayan Singh Circle.
"Traversing Narayan Singh Circle has become remarkably smooth for the past three days. It previously required at least 15-20 minutes to reach this crossing from Prithviraj Marg T-Point. Now, even during peak hours, it feels like night-time driving," said C-Scheme resident Akshay Kapoor, who runs a shop at Sanganer.
Traffic officials said further improvements are likely as plans progress to redistribute buses that currently use the Transport Nagar bus stand. The strategy will involve permitting select buses to reach Sindhi Camp or other city areas and letting others terminate at the Transport Nagar bus stand.
"We have successfully achieved our objective of decongesting Narayan Singh Circle. Similar arrangements will be implemented for 200-Feet Bypass Crossing once the transport department begins operations from Heerapura bus terminal. The long-term strategy involves minimising bus traffic within city limits," said Yogesh Dadhich, additional commissioner (traffic and administration) of Jaipur Police Commissionerate.
