Passengers need to educate themselves not to board overloaded vehicles Overloading continues unabated inviting risk to fatal accidents 11/10/2016 11:20:20 PM M S Nazki Early Times Report Poonch, Nov 10: It is known to all that traffic police allegedly collects huge amount from transporters to encourage overloading throughout the year without any fear. Traffic Police keep mum on this necessary issue, but they should immediately stop these kinds of overloading on the dangerous roads and should be penalized for overloading vehicles and their operators . This overloading occurs in district is not only the fault of traffic police but it is also due to the failure of district police because they also do nothing to stop this kind of crime. They will forbade overloading for some time till the media stayed there but the activity resumes as soon as media persons leave the spot. Passenger should also realise and should not pressurize vehicle operators to sit in their vehicles and operators should also know their vehicle capacity. The passenger vehicle operators, particularly in rural areas , had also resorted to various tactics in creating more space than the seating capacity in their vehicles to generate "extra income", forgetting the risk to lives of passengers. Overloading in passenger vehicles on roads in Poonch district is a running battle going on unabated with the traffic police and district police failing to keep check over violation of traffic rules. Locals say that on almost all the routes of Poonch district particularly outside town , passenger vehicles are extremely overloaded thereby increasing the chances of accidents. Overloading has become a common problem in all the routes of Poonch district and will be increasing day by day but the police fails to stop it. Leave aside Tatasumo and buses, overloading in newly introduced 'loading tempos', being used to ferry passengers from one place to another is quite visible and dangerous, but the authorities seem to be reluctant in initiating action against the violators.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
