Drivers in Gurua Market, Gaya, staged a protest on Monday, expressing their frustration over recurring traffic jams and alleged police inaction. According to drivers Surendra Kumar and Shyambihari Prasad, negligent policing leads to frequent traffic congestion on both the market road and the bypass. They highlighted that auto and toto drivers often operate their vehicles erratically, contributing significantly to the chaos.

Furthermore, government bus personnel are accused of stopping buses in the middle of the road to drop off passengers, further exacerbating traffic flow and causing considerable inconvenience to commuters. Local residents have also voiced their concerns, urging the administration to improve traffic management, control the unregulated operation of autos and totos, and take strict action against those who illegally park buses on the road. The persistent traffic problem in Gurua Market has become a major challenge, severely impacting daily commutes.
