The Bombay High Court on Monday directed the city traffic police to submit a report on the steps it proposed to take to ease commuting woes in crowded market areas such as Crawford Market, Bhuleshwar and Zaveri Bazaar in south Mumbai.

A bench of justices Naresh Patil and G S Kulkarni also suggested that the traffic police join hands with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to crack down on the rampant unauthorized parking in such areas.
