A District Collector observes that a newly introduced public bus service connecting several rural villages to the district headquarters is suffering from severe daily delays. An administrative inquiry reveals that the primary cause of the delay is traffic bottlenecking caused by informal weekly vendors encroaching onto the main road corridor. Which of the following administrative actions directly targets the root cause of the delay while maintaining policy effectiveness and administrative proportionality?
- AImpose an immediate complete ban on all informal vending in the district and deploy police forces to impound vendor goods.
- Designate a dedicated off-road market site nearby for weekly vendors and establish enforced clear-way traffic corridors on market days.Cevap
- CInstruct bus drivers to unilaterally bypass all scheduled rural stops on market days without issuing prior public notices or route modifications.
- DCancel the public bus service entirely under the assumption that rural commuters prefer using private transport modes instead.
Cevap
Designate a dedicated off-road market site nearby for weekly vendors and establish enforced clear-way traffic corridors on market days.
The option advocating for a designated off-road market site and enforced traffic corridors is correct because it directly addresses the root cause of the delay—road encroachment—by organizing public space. It balances public transit efficiency with local commercial needs in a proportional and procedurally sound manner.
