Most of the traffic signals in the city were out of order, including 38 signals on the most important junctions, City42 reported on Tuesday.
According to the report, 38 of the most important traffic signals in the city had not been working for the past month and the traffic wardens had no other options but to direct traffic themselves in places including Mall Road, Jail Road and Ferozepur Road.
CTO Dr Usman said that in spite of several written requests to NEPA, no positive response had been received, as a consequence of which the city traffic management system remained abysmal and ineffective.
The CTO said that he even wrote a letter to the DCO about the problem but nothing happened.
Areas where the signals did not work included Garhi Shahu, Crown Cinema, Mayo Gardens, Sultan Chowk, Dharampura, Model Town Link Road, China Chowk, Faisal Town round about, and other 26 important signals on different roads.
