| A RTC bus is going straight without entering into Gudihathnoor bu stand |
The authorities have identified black spots
(accidents prone spots) and are diverting the vehicle traffic on National and
state Highways to avoid road accidents at identified places in the districts in Telangana.
Experts say that there were many flaws in the design
of National Highway- 44 from Nirmal to Adilabad and it seems contactors
deliberately avoided conduction of under bridges to enable free flow of
vehicles at many places to reduce the expenditure giving scope for road
accidents.
The authorities have diverted the RTC busses to
avoid accidents at Gudihathnoor bus stand area which has become danger zone as
far as road accidents are concerned on NH-44.
Sangepu Borranna of Gourapur village in Indravelli
mandal said more than 20 persons and huge number of cattle died in road
accidents while crossing the road in
front of the Gudihathnoor bus stand on NH-44.
The TSRTC, National Highways Authority (NHAI) and Road
transport departments have identified few black spots (accidents prone spots)
including Gudihathnoor bus stand areas, Jamdapur crossing from Adilabad town on
NH-44.
The RTC authorizes blocked the area in front of the
Gudihathnoor bus stand and not allowing the RTC buses or any other private
vehicles to take curve suddenly from the NH-44 or come on to the same road.
Now the buses or any private vehicles coming from
Adilabad or Indravelli have to go straight half- kilometer distance towards
Nirmal from Gudihathnoor bus stand and take U- turn from there and enter into
bus stand.
The bus has to go further and take U- turn from
there to come onto the NH-44 unlike in the past. However, taking U- turn on the
National Highway itself is also posing danger of ghastly accident due to lack
of under bridge.
Many road accidents took place while people crossing
the NH in front of the Gudihathnoor bus stand and recently a car met with an
accident. At same place, more than 20 persons died and many injured after hit
by the speeding vehicles proceeding towards Adilabad or Nirmal in the past.
Bus stop at Kupti village in Neredigonda mandal also
become accident prone spot the vehicles play on this road at high speed due to
slope for long distance and generally drivers lost control on the vehicles and
rammed into people waiting for bus or crossing the road or else fell down from
the Kupti bridge hitting the iron railing.
Ramanaveni Srinivas of Kupti village said, ‘authorizes
have canceled the RTC express buses halt at Kumari bus stop following the road
accidents and only ordinary buses are being halt at the stop now since the
buses speed is high due to slope and every possibility for accidents there’.
Entering into Adilabad town at Mavala from crossing
the NH-44 is also giving scope for accidents due to lack of under bridge on the
out skirts of Adilabad town.
