The phrase far from improved is incorrect. The correct expression should be far from improving because the verb improve should be in its gerund form improving after the phrase far from. This is a common grammatical construction when referring to something being far from happening or improving. Corrected sentence The government has been taking a number of initiatives to reduce the traffic congestion, however, the situation remains far from improving .
