agra is very backword in development. though the agra development authority ,n.m.p., is getting high revenue and tajmahal is world heritage,the city is connected by old roads of moghul and british time. the bus stands,railway stations,roads are not at all of international standard. the colonies developed aon delhi kanpur road is not the effort of agra authorities. they themself developed,due to awas vikas ,other private colonisers,and national highway authority. after independence no appreciatig work has been done by agra adminstration. the tourists from all over the world are seen fighting with jams of road in the city. if their must not have been highway imagine what position it had been. agra could not get its civil aerodrome due to inactiveness of representative m.p.,til yet.the roads position is worst.maintenance is very poor .how we are proud to call it a city of taj. the sitation of m.g. road is worst. fly overs will also not the solution,because their are so many crossings. if so many fly overs are made then it will only be up and down and lot of demolition will be needed and will always be delayed due to hindrances by many mazars,temples,and other strructeres.
now there is only one alternative that is new road on well architeched pillars in between and small pillars for support on road pedestrian side. the old road will run as usual and new roof road from bhawan talkies to agra cant will be very convenient. seeing the importance of agra the state and central govt should bring special projects to develop the city as per internatonal standard. many foreigners only come to agraand this image is in their mind for india. no leader or party shold keep any prejudice in this matter. this is a national issue. many articles in foreign magazines show yhe dirty pictures of agra and most have been picturised showing road jams on the way from taj to fathepur sikri or from agra fort to etmaduddaulah. the high tiket charged by forigners and such poor atmoshere had been criticised by many. do the aristocrats and beurocrats of indian govt. have never felt of such. we the indians feel shame on such comments. attention is specially needed.
agra have always got step mother attitude and also ne3glected since independance.the agra authorities also could not develop as required due to hindrances of court orders,encroachment,lack of initiative and corruption. the low standard work and not adopting right technology and poor construction is the another cause. if years back when there was not so much construction on main roads if the roads must have been brodened the situation must not have worst as at presnt. before passing plans the master plan of agra was not kept in mind,
proper planned rods and flyovers ,proper parking can resolve the problem to a large extent. slow moving vehicles,godowns,now need to be sent outside the old city like delhi. thes sort of godowns can be shifted to existing or newly contructed sites on the borders of agra on connecting highways. uptill when the residents of agra will face hardness,suffering,and other problems due to benifit of those few who are always getting late the shiftings by political or other support.
the planners and adminstration and the govt should give attention to devlop this historical city. the city is visited daily by lakhs of tourist due to tajmahal,fathehpur sikri etmaduddaulah,sikandra,and many other small historical places and a big business centre of handicraft famous all over the world. the high dignitories visit from all over the world and the road from kheria and aerodrome to taj is also not wide and traffic is stopped for hours in such visits. hope is now also sill we are not late proper planned construction and control can resolve the problem
