Residents of DLF City (Phase 4) and Sushant Lok are virtually under house arrest ever since the Gurgaon police implemented a one-way traffic plan around Galleria and Super Mart market areas on Saturday.
The worst affected areas are Windsor Court, Hamilton Court, Regency Park-2, Richmond Park, Ridgewood Estate, Sushant Lok and other areas around Galleria Market.
Sample this — one has to travel 4-5 kms extra to reach Galleria Market or Super Mart from Windsor Court which are at a distance of 50 and 150 meters, respectively. Moreover, residents get stuck in long traffic jams right outside their colony gates.
"With this one-way traffic plan, it has become difficult to reach the Metro station and highway. Earlier, I had to hardly travel a kilometre but now, I have to take a mandatory right turn and drive more than three kilometres," said Prakash Khaitan, a resident of Hamilton Court.
"The new plan around Galleria Market adds to the traffic woes of commuters and people living in surrounding localities. Traffic movement on these roads comes to a standstill during peak hours, especially evening," he added.
On the other hand, the traffic police have been claiming the mess would be sorted out soon. "We were trying to find a solution to the problem. It will take few days for the situation to normalise," said Bharti Arora, deputy commissioner of police (traffic).
