    Build the bypass road that Mr. Gadkari had sanctioned. Then our local admin will have better control to regulate traffic on this road. Allowing hughe vehicles with hazardous cargo inside the city is dangerous for everyone concerned. Our politicians don't care. When there are five colleges and schools in this area why are pedestrian facilities like footpaths, signal lights etc. Not provided?. It's because it's a highway cutting through the city.

    These junctions are known trouble spots. The authorities and politicians are directly responsible for accidents here, unless it's a case of negligent driving by one of the vehicles involved. However, two-wheelers are particularly prone to accidents, as they often drive carelessly and don't always stay within their lanes. Om Shanthi to the departed soul

    Most of the two wheeler accidents in and around caused by themselves. Before riding they should know that they are not flying helicopter on empty sky. When using public road should check users movement too. If you don't follow rules definitely will end up in mortuary or jail.
