Madhya Pradesh Residents Concerned as Heavy Vehicles Enter City During No-Entry Time
Residents of Ganj Basoda, Madhya Pradesh are expressing their concerns over the constant violations of the no-entry rule for heavy vehicles in the city. Despite a ban on heavy vehicles entering the city from 9am to 9pm, these vehicles continue to move freely on main roads and squares, creating potential hazards and causing traffic congestion, especially during peak hours.
One of the major concerns raised by residents is the safety of thousands of children who use these roads as schools and colleges have recently reopened. The continued entry of heavy vehicles during the restricted hours increases the risk of accidents and poses a potential threat to these young students.
Despite the presence of a traffic police outpost at Jai Stambh Chowk, authorities have failed to take appropriate action against these violators. This lack of enforcement has allowed a large number of vehicles to roam freely, endangering the lives of residents.
The consequences of this lack of action are evident, as traffic gridlocks have become a common occurrence on Bareth, Mill, Tyonda, and police station roads. Commuters are suffering as they struggle to reach their destinations on time, resulting in significant inconvenience for the general public.
Regrettably, the city has already witnessed several tragic accidents involving heavy vehicles, further emphasizing the need for stricter adherence to the no-entry rule. Residents have continuously raised their voices in protest against this violation, but their pleas have fallen on deaf ears within the administration. The lack of action in response to these concerns has left residents feeling neglected and vulnerable.
To address this ongoing issue, residents are proposing the establishment of a Transport Nagar within the city where heavy vehicles can be parked during the restricted hours. This solution would ensure that heavy vehicles do not disrupt the flow of traffic and would reduce the risk of accidents within the city limits.
In response to these grievances, the in-charge of the traffic police outpost, Ritesh Baghela, stated that heavy vehicles carrying food grain for ration shops are exempt from the no-entry rule. However, he failed to provide a clear explanation as to why other vehicles are allowed entry during the restricted hours.
The situation in Ganj Basoda calls for urgent action from the authorities to enforce the no-entry rule consistently and without exceptions. The safety of the residents, especially the children, should be the utmost priority. It is crucial for the administration to address this issue promptly and take corrective measures to ensure compliance with the regulations.
Meanwhile, residents are hopeful that their concerns will not be ignored any longer, and that the administration will prioritize their safety by actively enforcing the no-entry rule. Only then can Ganj Basoda regain its status as a safe and traffic-free city, ensuring the well-being of all its residents and visitors alike.
