Mumbai Traffic Police — Continuous Traffic Jam due to Illegal Parking and Illegal Hawkers

Address: Sion Koliwada chowk to Hardeep Punjab and Mini Punjab Restaurant

I am writing to bring your attention to a persistent issue that has been causing significant inconvenience and safety concerns for the residents of Sion Koliwada. Specifically, I would like to address the continuous traffic jam and illegal parking and Illegal Hawkers occupying more than 50% of the road that occurs in front of the Hardeep Punjab restaurant, which is leading to severe congestion and unnecessary delays. The situation is exacerbated by the illegal parking of vehicles in front of the Hardeep Punjab establishment, which occupies a significant portion of the lane, making it difficult for vehicles to pass through smoothly.

School buses often get stuck in the resulting traffic jam, causing delays in reaching their destinations and causing distress to the children on board. Moreover, the excessive time wasted in the traffic jam has a ripple effect, leading to delays and frustration among commuters who are merely trying to get to their destinations in a timely manner. It is disheartening to witness that what should be a short two-minute drive often turns into a time-consuming and stressful experience, with drivers having to spend up to half an hour to navigate through the congested area.

I strongly believe that by taking prompt action, the Traffic Police Department can make a significant difference in resolving this ongoing issue. The safety and convenience of the residents, especially the school-going children, should be a top priority for the department, and I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.

Thanking You,
