    What about the roads some photos we can see loose stones which are dangerous for the riders. In some photos we can see the zebra crossings are all faded and not painted. What is the corporation doing ? When we have such bad infrastructure accidents will surely be there. Just opposite the central library I mean across the St. Aloysius College road there are a few shops the vehicle's parked on the footpath the DCP and the local corporator should look into it. The road and the footpath are almost the same level.

    Take action against all traffic offenders. Police must strictly take offenders into custody. Specially against Bus drivers and Auto drivers. No parking must follow strictly. Awareness programme is not required. Every citizen is fully aware only Police action required.

    It is good to see D.C.P. Uma Prashant taking the trouble to flag off Traffic awareness program organized by St. Aloysius College. I had the privilege of flagging off a similar program organized by The Parish Priest of Rosario Church where a number auto scooters and motorcycles were cautiously driven by drivers from different walks of life

    It is expedient to highlight that these programs should encourage people to join THE TRAFFIC WARDENS SQUAD and help in the matter of controlling the traffic and reducing accidents and accidental deaths.
