A bike lost control and skidded due to the scattered sand, causing a woman riding pillion to fall. The woman sustained a severe head injury, resulting in significant bleeding.
Details of the Incident
According to eyewitnesses, the couple was passing through the Deepak Cinema road when their bike hit the pile of sand that had been dumped illegally on the side and middle of the road. The rider lost balance, and the bike skidded. The woman fell onto the road, sustaining a deep gash on her head.
Local shopkeepers and passersby immediately rushed to assist the woman and quickly transported her to a nearby medical facility for treatment. She is currently undergoing medical care, and her condition is reported to be stable.
Complaints from Local Residents
There is significant outrage among the local residents following the incident. They state that this is not the first time such an accident has occurred due to piles of sand.
Illegal Road Encroachment: In the name of construction work, people often dump sand and gravel on the roads without permission, narrowing the path for commuters.
Administrative Negligence: Residents allege that despite repeated complaints to the Municipal Corporation and traffic police, these illegal obstacles are not cleared from the roads.
Frequent Accidents: Residents noted that these sand piles become "death traps" during the night, leading to frequent accidents involving bike riders.
Demands for Action
Local residents have demanded strict action from the district administration and the Municipal Corporation. They argue that if a firm mechanism is not implemented to impose heavy fines on those dumping construction materials on the roads and ensure their immediate removal, a more tragic incident could occur in the future.
For now, residents remain apprehensive about how long this administrative silence will continue.
