These are two dividers in one row in the distance of merely 10 meters. Motorists always remain confused between these two dividers. Authorities should demolish one of the dividers. There is a need to install a traffic lights. The pressure has been increasing with each passing day. Many government offices, the Civil Hospital, Haryana police headquarters, and the HSVP office is situated in Sector 6. It is a very sensitive road divider.” Onlookers including two street-vendors stationed on the roadside said the road has become accident prone, with an accident happening almost every day.
