Traffic at Master Canteen Square has gone haywire with jaywalkers and vehicles rushing into the junction from all directions. Though the square is barely 50 metres from a police outpost and an interception post, traffic management on Janpath often goes for a toss during evening hours. The Telegraph takes a closer look at the problem.

The entire square has no underpass or foot overbridge. The civic authorities should build a bridge to help people cross the square with much difficulty

There is still confusion regarding the length and position location of the flyover being planned by the works department. If it is not solved, we cannot construct a foot overbridge

We have shortage of manpower and deployed volunteers to man traffic at important locations. For this particular spot, I will discuss the issue with my seniors and there will be immediate action

TT tips
Just as traffic police have declared AG Square as a zero tolerance zone to minimise violations, such an arrangement with installation of closed-circuit television cameras should start to stop mess near Station Square
