The Supreme Court has taken note of the traffic management problem in Ghaziabad’s Kaushambi area and constituted a committee comprising representatives of the statutory authorities of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh so that a “coordinated and concerted effort” can be made to resolve the issue. The apex court, which said that a “comprehensive traffic management plan” should be presented before it, observed that a resolution of the issue would not be possible unless all the authorities concerned jointly agree on a concrete effort to manage the traffic problems.
