Kejri wants people to be cautious

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed to the people in the city to be cautious while clicking a selfie and not drive at a high speed on the newly-opened Signature Bridge.

The chief minister made the request as three people have died in accident on the bridge in the last two days. "I am extremely concerned about the accidents on Signature Bridge. It is the pride of Delhi. 

It is my appeal to all the people, especially the youth, to be careful while clicking selfies on the Signature Bridge and not drive vehicles at a high speed. 

Your life is precious to the country and for your parents," Kejriwal tweeted.  A day after two medical students died in a crash here, a 24-year-old man was killed and his cousin injured after their motorcycle skidded and hit a road divider on the Signature Bridge on Saturday. 

AamAadmi Party's (AAP) chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj, on the other hand, blamed the Delhi Police for its inaction in a series of tweets.  "What is the Delhi traffic police doing? Why were no traffic police personnel deployed to check over speeding at the Signature bridge? Is Signature bridge not under their exclusive jurisdiction? (sic)" Bharadwaj asked.

He said that since the Delhi government does not have its own police, the Central government and Lt. Governor Anil Baijal were "duty bound to ensure law and order at each corner of Delhi including the Signature Bridge".
