Treat the problem in such a way that the trouble would remain pending and people would get used to live with it without complaint, applies with Kriplani square mess. Instead of giving a deeper thought on finding the concrete solution, Nagpur Metro closed the road going towards Deekshabhoomi defeating the purpose of carving Jail road. Jail road was carved so that people coming from East and South Nagpur would join Wardha road and move to various directions.
This could have divided traffic that was shouldered single-handedly by Congress Nagar Road. Authorities did not realise the real crux of crossing of vehicular movements from various directions. It came out of deep slumber when mess got created at the square. Improper installation of traffic signals added to the confusion leading to chaos. Unable to find solution, authorities closed the road approaching Deekshabhoomi.
This has restricted people not only from going towards Deekshabhoomi but also going on Gowari flyover as most of the people have to go to various offices in Civil Lines area. This closure of road has drastically reduced the traffic on Jail road. Commuters are also facing problems of getting stuck up near Ajni Bridge Chowk where the other side of the Jail road ends.
To add to the woes of public, the things have been messed up on the road near Haldiram where authorities have kept diversion near Ajni square open despite of the fact that the road in front of Ajit Bakery got opened. This has created another trouble as people are using both sides and meeting at Wardha road from both the directions. Authorities have not informed the public about the opening of the road in front of Ajit Bakery and people did not understand because the diversion is also kept opened. On all these junctions everyday 4 or 5 minor accidents are taking place. To the fortune of authorities no big accident has taken place yet which they must be waiting for.
