Welcome to Belagavi, Mr Bhata. We look forward to to your new assignment and that you fulfill your promises. One of the biggest problems the citizens face is the fares that autos charge. Many of your predecessors came ,saw but could not solve. Caesar once said “I came, I saw and I conquered” Please live up to your promises and you will be remembered. Best of luck.
Welcome sir,I have a request to be made.please reduce the number of old city buses,autorickshaws n private vehicles which emit a lot of smoke,people walking by foot and riding on two wheelers get suffocated.there are lot of schools adjacent to main roads,so kids are directly inhaling the pollution created by these vehicles.why should everyone’s health suffer just because someone wants to enjoy his ride on old smoke emitting vehicles.even lot of the city buses emit huge smoke.please look into it.
Thanks..
Sir,
Congratulations on taking over as Commissioner of Police. We have a few suggestions for management of traffic in Belagavi, which may be considered by you.
1. Educate all road users as : LEFT lane for 2,3 wheelers RIGHT lane for 4-6 wheelers
This will avoid 2 wheelers plying all over the road, ensuring safety for themselves & other users.
2. Very badly need speed breakers at major pedestrian crossings (Bogarves Circle, Sanchayani Circle etc)
Vehicles do not slow down at pedestrian crossings, and accelerate to rush before pedestrians cross.
3. Fix CCTV cameras on Kirloskar Road, Ramdev Galli (one ways) to capture and penalise compulsive parkers, and wrong-side goers, apart from hawkers.
