Hindus believe that if people bathe at any of these places they are absolved of their sins. Kumbh is held every 12 years at Allahabad where three rivers meet. It happens every 12 years because it took Jayanta 12 days to reach heaven and each day of the celestials in Hindu mythology is equal to one mortal year. This is with reference to the recent series by Shubhajit Roy on the traffic problem and trouble spots in Delhi. While he has done a fairly good job, I feel that he should have offered some suggestions for either the Traffic Police, the MCD or vehicle owners to take.
Drivers tend to ignore two basic rules of driving on a road.
First, all vehicles joining a traffic circle must come to a complete halt on the dotted white line. The driver should look right on approaching a circle and enter only after he has yielded to all traffic on his right. Though signs advising this have been posted on all circles, yet drivers are totally ignored. In fact one often witnesses the ridiculous sight of traffic already negotiating the circle having to give way to vehicles joining the circle. Second, all vehicles joining a main road from an arterial road must stop and yield to traffic on the main road.
