Like Hyderabad, Lucknow is also having problem with traffic jams. The metro rail works going on in Hyderabad, have spoiled the roads very badly.
This is causing lot of hardships to the commuters in Hyderabad. People with 4 wheelers are having lot of trouble these days.
The unending traffic jams in Lucknow may be leaving the local residents irritated and angry but for Maniram, a rickshaw puller, it has brought a windfall.
Vijay Shekhar Sharma, the CEO of a mobile commerce platform, was one of the recipients of the Yash Bharti award on Thursday. Hours later, he was scheduled to meet Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, at the latter’s official residence.
As he made his way to the CM’s residence, his car was caught in a traffic jam. The CEO got down from his car and hired a rickshaw. Since the security officials at Mr Akhilesh’s residence had been asked to allow the ‘guest’ to arrive in his vehicle, the rickshaw was allowed inside the CM’s residence. The Chief Minister, who welcomed the CEO, was surprised to see him come in a rickshaw.
Mr Akhilesh spoke to Maniram, who belongs to Rae Bareli, about his family, children and home.
“This Diwali has changed my life for me and my family. All our blessings are for the Chief Minister and his family for helping me so much”, he told security men posted outside Mr Akhilesh’s residence.
Even in Hyderabad people are having a tough time in reaching their destinations. The roads are filled with dust all the time. Some of them have stopped using 4 wheelers during office timings and getting dropped by 2 wheelers.
