Complaint of traffic jams over Lakdikapul U-turn

A commuter has complained to the traffic police on its Facebook page.

Hyderabad: A commuter has complained to the traffic police on its Facebook page that a U-turn created at Lakdikapul petrol bunk is causing traffic jams. The U-turn was created to facilitate ongoing Metro Rail work. Mr Chikkulla Sai Charan, 25, of Mehdipatnam wrote on the traffic police FB page: “This is the third complaint on this page requesting closure of the U-turn but no one has responded.” He said that the U-turn was causing traffic congestion “every five minutes” on the Lakdikapul-Masab Tank stretch.

He said he gets stuck in the traffic jam at the spot. Many vehicles including four-wheelers come from the wrong direction, exacerbating the situation. He said many vehicles were parked in the non-parking zone up to a hotel, which was adding to the mess. He asked the police to close the U-turn; motorists could use the U-turn at the Masab Tank flyover, he said.

Asked about the problem, additional commissioner of police, traffic, Jitender, said, “We will examine the problem, but it is not feasible to close the U-turn’’. Police said 126 e-challans had been issued for parking in the no-parking zone, and 17 for driving in the wrong direction till March 10.
