Amid the persistent traffic congestion in Srinagar city, the authorities attribute the issue to the lack of efficient and comfortable public transport in the city. A top officer told Greater Kashmir that the Srinagar city was witnessing traffic congestion due to lack of public transport while people were mostly using their private vehicles, adding to the congestion on the city roads. According to the officials, the Srinagar Smart City Limited (SSCL) has made the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) operational at almost all the locations but the traffic regulation, at times, is put on manual mode when the traffic flow exceeds the carrying capacity.
