The Old Goa Police recently suggested a host of measures that can be implemented to resolve the traffic congestion on the Old Goa-Merces road. These measures have been submitted to the competent authorities for action. Such initiatives have to be commended.
The root cause of an issue is best known by those who have experience dealing with it on a regular basis or those who have studied it. Old Goa police having jurisdiction over the area has a bird's-eye view of the problem. Their recommendations are invaluable in solving the problem. Similar initiatives need to be taken from other police stations in the area.
The recent traffic chaos caused by the closure of Atal Setu is a stark reminder of the inability of authorities to anticipate it. Engaging local police for such an initiative is clearly a step forward. Hopefully, Old Goa Police's initiative will be acted on in a serious manner.
