Indian Express - Jan 6,2009 - 10 Lakh Spent yearly but traffic light timer still fails to keep time

Varun Chadha says that in Chandigarh despite spending 10 L per annum on maintenance of traffic light timer in the city commuters continue to be inconvenienced as majority of these traffic timers do not work.

Traffic police deptt has passed the buck to engineering deptt.

SP (Traffic) H S Doon says "when ever we come to know about non-functional timers, we immediately inform the engineering deptt. to carry out the rectification.

Executive engineer Ranjit Singh however maintained "There may be a minor problem. We will look into it and get it repaired as soon as possible"
