Traffic Jam seen During Demonstration
High Volume of Vehicles in Roads
Due to Demonstration and Chakka Jam program against the price hike in Petroleum products streets of Kathmandu faced a high traffic Jam this Thursday. In office hours when lots of people come out with their vehicles in roads due to these demonstration people faced a high traffic jam problem. From News we came to know that local consumers who didn’t got the petroleum products and cooking gas after queue in line for several hours in petrol pumps and Gas shops they suddenly provided the products easily after the heavy price hikes in these products by government. Due to irregular market monitoring system some black marketer & some big dealers of these products use to hide the products and create uncertain inability of the products for consumers and certainly after price hike they easily provide the products in the rate of high price and earn the big cash profits in their pockets
As we can see nothing going to change with these price hikes, streets of Kathmandu not going to get relief from big traffic jams, bikes, cars and other vehicles will run as usual in streets pollution meter will going to show high pollution rates as normal.
High volume of vehicles in roads, Is this the sign of people getting rich day by day as numbers of vehicles are increasing, or a sign that people of poor country gradually earning big to buy these vehicles,
May be due to uneasiness of people in their mind and feeling shy when they drive a cycles or walk to go for office, they fill off oddness and afraid of loosing dignity in society if they do that. We must know that majority of people from developed countries like Japan, China and European countries love to use cycles to go to office as they are highly concerned about environmental pollution and healthy habits. Many foreign countries have separate cycle lane in streets for those cycle lovers.
We the people from Nepal also must learn from these lesions and must reduce to use highly cost polluted vehicles rather than cycles.
