Nagpur News: Till July 24, 2014, if one used the road from VNIT Gate (Bajaj Nagar Side) to LAD Callege square, the stree vendors selling Maize Corn, Sugar Cane Juice, Bhel Poori etc had caused traffic jam. The customers who came to eat the Maize corn in cars used to park their vehicle is such a way that it used to narrow the other-wise narrow road where two vehicles cannot comfortably travel together. These customers used to park and take their vehicles out causing discomfort for other road users.
