Lucknow: A Kaiserbagh Vyapar Mandal delegation led by Vice President Mukesh Maharaj (9335088806), General Secretary Prashant Nigam (9415061532), Secretary Yogesh Mulvani (9839066629), Joint Secretary Shahrukh (9918300000), Treasurer Faisal Akmal (8176824256), and members Hemendra Singh (9044733555) and Rameez Ahmed Khan, has submitted a memorandum to the Commissioner of Lucknow regarding pressing issues at the historic Kaiserbagh Circle.
Key Concerns Raised:
- Traffic Congestion:
- Kaiserbagh Circle, despite being a historic landmark, is plagued by severe traffic jams. Heavy buses and vehicles are often stuck for hours, causing immense inconvenience to commuters and residents alike.
- Ambulances heading to Balrampur Hospital frequently face delays due to the congestion, putting patients’ lives at risk.
- Encroachment Problems:
- Unauthorized stalls and vendors, including food carts selling puris and juice, have taken over public spaces, adding to the chaos.
- Walls recently renovated as part of a beautification drive are already marred by soot and grime due to nearby cooking activities.
- Dangerous Web of Overhead Wires:
- A tangled mess of electric and communication wires hangs precariously over the area, posing a serious risk of accidents or fires.
A Call to Action:
The memorandum highlights the efforts of the Commissioner in restoring the grandeur of Kaiserbagh Circle through beautification projects. However, the delegation emphasizes the urgent need for:
- A comprehensive traffic management plan to resolve bottlenecks.
- Immediate measures to curb encroachments and reclaim public spaces.
- A coordinated effort to remove or organize overhead wiring to prevent accidents.
The delegation expressed confidence in the Commissioner’s ability to address these challenges and restore Kaiserbagh Circle’s historic dignity and functionality.
This plea underscores the critical need for prompt action to ensure the safety, accessibility, and preservation of this iconic landmark.
