Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Housing and Urban Development department is mulling an alternative mechanism to remove the red lights from traffic posts in various urban areas.
Minister Krushna Chandra Mahapatra on Tuesday said that the government is planning on how people would not wait for hours on traffic posts.
“Alternative arrangements like over-bridges and approach roads can be constructed to avoid red lights at the traffic posts. It will help commuters ease the communication without any hindrance at traffic junctions,” the minister added.
A plan will be prepared after discussion with senior officers of the department and experts, he added.
“People always want to reach their destination early without any obstacles. We will prioritise smooth and convenient vehicular communication for the common people. We are planning to remove red lights from the traffic posts and make alternative arrangements like construction of over bridges and approach roads,” said the Minister.
