Traffic woes at Ramdas Circle

From morning to evening near Ramdas Circle to Big Bazar road there is a lot of traffic. 

In this area gold, Kirana and shopping malls are more, people not only from Medak town, but also from the nearer places also coming for the shopping and park their vehicles on the roads which lead to inconvenience for the people during the traffic hours. Commodities brought in heavy vehicles further lead to traffic woes, locals suggested to bring goods in mini-trucks to avoid/minimise the congestions.
