Thakurdwara: In Rampur district, an uncontrolled overloaded truck crushed the car of an electricity department official like ‘papad’ on the road. In this heart-wrenching accident, the driver died tragically on the spot. But despite this horrifying scene, the orgy of overloaded vehicles continues unabated on Kashipur Road in Thakurdwara area of ​​Moradabad. However, in view of the increasing dangers, now Thakurdwara Police has prepared a big ‘masterplan’, which has raised hopes of curbing the accidents.

Feast of death: Goods double the capacity and danger of high-voltage

This road connecting Thakurdwara to Kashipur in Uttarakhand is always busy, but the view here is scary. Trucks and tractor-trolleys are loaded far beyond their capacity. Locals say that sometimes these vehicles are loaded so high that they almost touch the 11,000-volt high-voltage power lines passing over the road. The slightest mistake and the entire vehicle could burst into flames.

Lesson from Rampur accident: Police tightened its belt, issued new instructions

The accident that happened at Pahari Gate intersection of Rampur is proof of how much devastation an uncontrolled truck can cause. Keeping this in mind, Thakurdwara police is now seen in action mode. Police have issued strict rules for shopkeepers and drivers to ensure road safety. Under this masterplan of the police, strict instructions have been given to the shopkeepers encroaching on the roadside not to spread their goods on the road, so that heavy vehicles get enough space to pass and there is no jam situation.

Administration’s new strategy: attack on encroachment and speed

Under this positive initiative of Thakurdwara Police, not only adherence to traffic rules is being made mandatory, but preparations are also being made to run a campaign against overloading and illegal parking. Local residents say that this step of the police is commendable, because uncontrolled speed of heavy vehicles and narrow roads are the biggest danger. The police have made it clear that now not only fine but strict legal action will be taken against the drivers who violate the rules.

Double attack of fog and public appeal

With the onset of winter season, mist and fog have also made their appearance. Poor visibility makes it even more difficult to spot these overloaded vehicles on the road. Citizens of the area have welcomed this new initiative of the police, but have also demanded that special patrolling be increased on Kashipur road at night. People believe that if this masterplan of the police is implemented strictly, then deadly accidents like Rampur will be prevented from happening again on the land of Thakurdwara.
