Chaotic traffic in Balangir town has led to commuters’ nightmare.
Such is the mess here that it is said if you can drive safely in Balangir, you
are safe anywhere.
Here anybody can flout the traffic
norms with impunity. Ride whichever side you choose, it is not a problem. But
surly this has led to lawlessness on roads and accidents have shot up.
“We are dissuading the youths not to
ride at break-neck speed. But in the absence of strict punishment, hardly does
it yield the desired results,” said a traffic police on conditions of
anonymity.
“We are working under the scorching
sun with no cover over us. There is no outpost here. The traffic post is
damaged. Even as we are working under harsh conditions and facing the
consequences like dehydration and other health problems, there is no let-up,”
rued a woman traffic constable.
We are taking action against the
offenders. Besides, we are also sensitising the people about road safety,
informed SK Panda of Balangir town police station.
New umbrella covers for the damaged
traffic ones would be ready by the end of March, Balangir Superintendent of
Police R Prakash said.
