During previous trials of one way streets and temporary one way zones, the biggest hurdle was drivers not complying with traffic rules. Despite a grant from the World Bank, authorities have been unable to move ahead with plans to widen the streets around Bihariji, and have not provided basic amenities, such as toilets, in the area.

Electrocution case highlights deficiencies at Mathura District Hospital. Friday, Mathura: When ambulances full of children arrived at Mathura Hospital, there was no one to take them to the beds and there were not enough stretchers. The children arrived at the hospital after being burnt by low-hanging electrical wires in Raya village. The children and their parents were sitting on top of luggage in the back of a truck. One child died and several children, and adults, were injured. Those injured were taken to hospital, however, the hospital was not prepared to deal with the emergency. There were not enough nurses to hook up the drips, so the drips were handled by unqualified cleaning staff. Amar Ujala reports that this is not the first time that inadequacies in staff and facilities at the hospital have come to light.
