The stretch of Melkar Junction is widening to facilitate 4-lane traffic, despite the bus-bay has been constructed, none of the buses stop; instead park in the middle of the road to pick up passengers. The parking for light vehicles is ignored that is causing road mishaps and serious injuries and loss of life. It’s the time; the authorities take early actions to streamline the facilities.
