| Protest, road blockade against increasing road mishaps | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 14: The increasing road mishaps and failure of traffic police to check the speed of the vehicles, two wheelers etc and also take action against those drivers, scooterists and bikers who are driving the vehicles without licenses and other valid documents has forced the people of Chak Nathal falling under the jurisdiction of Rajbagh Police Station to come to streets and block the Sanji More -Chadwal border road for one hour.
The hundreds of men, women and children who took to streets in the area and blocked the border road were protesting the death of a seven year old girl who was walking on a footpath and was crushed by a rashly driven matador last evening.
The protestors said that the driver was in high speed and had no papers. They raising slogans against the Traffic Police said that it has failed to act against those drivers who run the vehicles under the influence of liquor in fast speed and without the licenses.
The protestors said it has been a routine affair that the drivers hit the people and flee after the accident. Neither the vehicle is later traced nor the driver.
The same happened in this particular case also, they alleged.
They demanded that the driver be immediately arrested and action under law be taken against him.
They said that traffic police has totally failed to take the cognizance of teenagers who are under age for driving two wheelers on roads. These two wheelers have become a public nuisance as they often hit the pedestrians or other vehicles run on the roads.
Scores of such accidents have taken place in Kathua and Samba districts on National Highway and other roads during last few months and the administration has failed to take cognizance of the same.
The protestors asked the administration to be responsive and take action against such drivers, bikers and scooterists who run their vehicles in high speed and under the influence of liquor and not to play with the innocent lives falling a prey to road accidents daily.
The protestors accused the Traffic Police of total neglecting its duty and responsibility saying that instead of taking action against the law breakers on roads they left all such drivers scoot free after their palms are greased by them.
This irresponsible approach of the Traffic Police ahs been the cause of entire problem and had the Traffic Police been responsive no driver or biker could dare to run their vehicles or without licenses.
However, later the people lifted the road blockade on the assurance of the SDPO Border, Divakar Singh who promised that the driver will be dealt under law. |
