Unprecedentedly Civilian traffic moving through the Kashmir University campus on Friday following Miraj Un Nabi (SAW) shows city traffic police in bad light as this has never ever happened in the past. Shockingly even the diversion of traffic through the university campus did not end massive traffic congestion in the vicinity of Dargah Hazratbal on Friday following Miraj Un Nabi (SAW).When such traffic plan is devised on no less important a day than the Friday following Miraj Un Nabi (SAW) the people can’t expect improvement in the traffic regulation in Srinagar city. What matters the most is the fact that movement of civilian traffic from the back to front gate of Kashmir University disturbed hugely the academic and administrative work inside the campus as the teachers and students putting up in university hostels were surprised to see both passenger and private vehicles moving through the University campus without any objection from the University authorities. It was for the Vice Chancellor Kashmir University to think about the disturbances the movement of civilian traffic could trigger and consequently leave a deep impact on the academic environment of the University. By all standards of understandabilities both traffic police seeking permission for movement of civilian traffic through University campus and as well as the University authorities endorsing the demand of traffic police for movement of civilian traffic through the University campus went against the spirits and standards of traffic policing. Inability of the traffic police department to identity suitable parking places for passenger and private vehicles on no less important a day than the Friday following Miraj Un Nabi (SAW) shows that traffic policing has come down to a new low in Kashmir Valley particularly Srinagar city.
While the decision of allowing movement of civilian traffic through the Kashmir University Campus on even occasion of big religious congregations at Dargah Hazratbal demands an immediate review by the Vice Chancellor herself, Administrative wisdom demands that traffic police department also identifies the suitable parking places for passenger and private vehicles in the vicinity of Dargah Hazratbal to ensure hassle free movement of traffic on the occasions of major religious congregations at Dargah Hazaratbal.
Silence suits the academic environment in any educational institution particularly Colleges and the Universities and allowing crowding and noise inside the campus spoils the academic environmental in colleges and universities. Universities and Colleges are the centres of learning but not the hubs of crowding and noise.
