'SITUATION IS EXPECTED TO WORSEN'

- AMITAVA BANERJEE

DARJEELING: With the ongoing tourist rush to the Hills, Darjeeling is once again in the grip of serpentine traffic jams. The ride from Jorebungalow to Darjeeling, an 8 km ride, is taking around 3 hours at present. All the roads in Darjeeling town and the surrounding areas are chock-a-block with traffic. Patients, students, office goers, daily commuters as well as the tourists flocking the hill town face immense hardships owing to this. The major damper is that there will be no immediate respite from this and the situation is expected to worsen with each tourist season.
