Uncontrolled
traffic in the state has become a matter of great concern.
Road accidents are increasing day by day. Recently, percentage
of death toll due to accidents has also increased. Other cities
including the capital are witness to mobike riders showing
their styles on roads. Several times it results in fatal accidents
leading to the riders death. Bus and truck drivers are also
found to be in a hurry and spread fear among the passers-by.
The concerned authorities are not able to check the situation
going out of hand. Moreover the people are not following the
traffic signals. Four wheeler drivers often violate traffic
rules. Bus drivers stop their buses anywhere in the city except
at assigned bus stops. This violation is resorted to by the
mini bus drivers as also by the star bus drivers. It seems
that people believe in violating traffic rules and make the
public transport buses halt whereever they like. Lack of infrastructure
continues to haunt the traffic system. Road safety rules are
not being followed at all. Whereas, road safety and proper
traffic should be taken on priority. Cooperation of common
people should be taken in following traffic rules, but its
responsibility goes to police administration completely. There
is need to follow traffic and safety rules completely and
initiatives should be taken to control road accidents.
