Traffic chaos at RU Kajla Gate

Thursday, 7 March 2024



The persistent traffic congestion at Kajla Gate, one of the entrances to the University of Rajshahi, poses significant risk for students. The situation is exacerbated by drivers, particularly buses, standing in the middle of the road for extended periods, causing inconvenience for pedestrians and noise pollution. This not only results in the wastage of time but also heightens the risk of accidents and endangers the safety of those crossing the road.
Addressing this issue demands immediate intervention from the relevant authorities. Implementing traffic control measures, promoting responsible driving behaviour, and taking specific actions to streamline the flow of vehicles are crucially needed.
Commitment of the authorities concerned is of paramount importance to ensuring a safe and efficient environment for pedestrians, alleviating traffic-related nuisances, and mitigating the potential risks associated with the current chaotic conditions at Kajla Gate. Immediate attention and coordinated efforts are essential to rectifying these challenges and enhancing the overall commuting experience for all stakeholders.
