Residents fume over reckless driving

Uppal: Reckless drivers are causing a lot of nuisance for the residents on Boduppal Kaman to the Chilkanagar stretch. The 5 km-long road has no speed breakers and drivers, taking advantage of the situation, are driving recklessly resulting in the killing of stray animals while crossing the road.

The residents are horrified by the reckless driving and are very frightened to leave their kids there or to send them out to play as the road gets more unsafe to cross in the night.

A few nearby residents, sharing their agony with The Hans India here on Sunday said, "This has now become an everyday sight for us. Every other day, we are seeing carcass of an animal lying on the road after they were killed by these reckless drivers. I have requested the officials concerned many times to construct a speed breaker but there has been no response from them. The innocent creatures are getting killed by these high speeding vehicles."

Continuing further, he said that the GHMC staff doesn't come until the body spreads over badly on the road and starts stinking. "I am afraid, someday, I might see some child lying there after being hit by a vehicle.

Therefore, I request the GHMC officials to take steps and construct speed breakers over the road and also warn the drivers to slowdown while driving in a residential area," he added.
