Madhubani city witnessed severe traffic jams across various areas on Wednesday morning. Major routes like Shankar Chowk, Tilak Chowk, Malgodam Road, Gangasagar Chowk, and Railway Station Road saw vehicle queues stretching up to 2 kilometers, causing significant inconvenience to commuters. The surge in the number of people heading to offices, markets, schools, colleges, and the railway station in the morning led to immense pressure on the roads.

In many places, the situation was so dire that vehicles would move a short distance only to halt again, leaving pedestrians and drivers stranded for hours. Despite the formation of a traffic police station and deployment of police personnel at major intersections to address the persistent traffic problem, residents continue to face daily gridlock.

Local residents believe that merely deploying police cannot provide a permanent solution. According to them, the primary causes of the jam are haphazard roadside parking, uncontrolled operation of auto-rickshaws and e-rickshaws, and disregard for traffic rules. Even a brief stop by a vehicle at prominent intersections and market areas quickly leads to long queues. School children, the elderly, patients, and those with urgent work often get stuck in these jams, experiencing considerable discomfort.

City residents have urged the administration to take strict action against illegal parking on main roads, establish organized stands for auto-rickshaws and e-rickshaws, implement effective traffic management at intersections, and ensure regular monitoring. They emphasize that unless concrete and permanent steps are taken regarding traffic management, the people of Madhubani city will find it difficult to get relief from the persistent problem of traffic jams.
