Sir,
This letter comes to you with great remorse on tragic demise of Aman Bali and Sourav Bali at the Asia Chowk. Wrt to the letter to the editor dated Jan 13, 2014 I had already raised the concern regarding the unregulated traffic coming from the Warehouse/4th bridge intersecting the main road at Hotel Asia. Unfortunately, it happened which was the most dreaded. Despite the fact that there was a visible problem, I am sorry to see the State of affairs and negligence of the concerned department which couldn’t prevent this mis-happening. Had the steps been taken and proper remedial measures put at place, two precious lives could have been saved and their families could have been saved from the trauma and the long lasting pain and void.
Adding to the concern, I would also like to highlight that though the traffic signals have been installed, there is still chaos at many signals though it was fine until there were traffic personnel deployed there.
I always fail to understand why we are jolted only after we lose something. I earnestly request the concerned authorities to take immediate steps to prevent any such incident from happening in future.
Yours etc….
