A part of credit goes to Belagavi Traffic Cops too as system seems to be outdated and poor in action against culprits. Make a system like bengaluru city.
Many accidents have taken place at this location.There is huge traffic congestion due to functions taking place at Gandhi Bhavan,Two wheelers and Autos Comming on the wrong side from MVM School,RLS,People going to Sanman Petrol Pump,Parking throughout the Road.The Authorities should plan entirely stop the crossing like they did at first gate only then people will stop taking shortcuts.
Instead of looking only for helmets
The police should look for our safety
Seen many two vehicles who come to drop their children to school and some Auto who come for refill drive from the wrong side and to add to this band baaja barat aur traffic jam
People please take a detour there are no short cuts if you do it some one else will do and another one and Soo on.
The TRAFFIC police have totally failed in their duties, they just want easy money by posting themselves in one corner of road & catching citizen’s who are not wearing Helmet, they are least bothered about trillion rider’s or reckless drivers or speed limit, there will be no end to this until police comm. comes up with a solution.
Need to put Signal lights on that Road And same Road breaker’s too.
Parents please don’t allow your children’s kids to drive when they are underaged and learner’s
There is no signal at this junction. There is heavy tragic here. Signal is necessary
May God give strength to the family, specially to the mother…
The roads should also be repaired in Belgaum and the contractors photo and name should be written on each road so that Incase the road gets spoilt we can all eat pan and tambak and spit on his photo
My condolences to the family, let God give the parents of the little boy courage.. OM SHANTI
It is high time the crossings on this road should be closed. People have forgotten value of life! Like many other incidents this too will be soon forgotten and traffic violations will return to normal till another tragedy strikes!
