The 65-year-old Gopi Birla Memorial School at Walkeshwar has been taking many steps including changing timings for its different sections, and requesting parents to not send their cars to pick up students to lessen the traffic issues in its area.

But its location by a busy two-lane road adds to the traffic congestion when school begins and ends. This occurs despite the presence of a traffic police officer at the spot everyday to ensure easy flow of traffic. There are also many VIP residences and high-rises alongside the road and so there is a constant movement of vehicles.
