In a move aimed at reducing traffic congestion and enhancing public safety, the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) has implemented a ban on piling building materials along city roads between 6 AM and 10 PM. The new regulation, designed to curb the growing issue of roadside obstructions, will ensure smoother traffic flow and minimize risks to pedestrians and vehicles.
The ban comes in response to concerns about the increasing encroachment of roads by construction materials, which has led to accidents and delays during peak traffic hours. Under the new rules, construction sites will be required to store materials off the roads or within designated zones, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment for commuters.
Authorities have emphasized that violators of the ban will face strict penalties, underscoring the city’s commitment to improving urban mobility and infrastructure management. The decision is part of a broader initiative to modernize Guwahati’s urban spaces, promoting sustainable growth while addressing long-standing issues of traffic and pollution.
This move is expected to not only streamline the city’s traffic but also improve the overall aesthetic and functionality of Guwahati’s roads.
