A Narrow Escape
|
traffic in Hyderabad , every morning .
|
A lorry , a bus and car tightly packed ,
in a close road , a bike , a fruit vendor and , a pedestrian waiting for
the road to clear , the traffic police arguing with a bus driver on
the-other side , chaos every were , and you waiting impatiently , always
thinking of getting out ,but helpless .
This is what happens , on the roads of Hyderabad
every morning , the traffic out of control , the pedestrians not obeying
the rules , the vehicles jumping the signals , and the traffic police jumping
on them , why do you think , this happens every day , i think that
it happens because of the short and narrow roads , that are used but not
maintained , and not widened when in frequent usage .the vehicles growth
, the overpopulation , the negligence of the rules , and the ignorance of the
rulers are the reasons , there are
people escaping accidents narrowly every day , unless the authorities and the
people don't take it seriously , i think there's always a narrow escape.

Traffic in old city , govt taking no measure
|
There are numerous narrow
escapes which i and others had, on the streets of Hyderabad. As i mentioned
before , the roads here are very narrow ,the vehicles , the pedestrians
,vendors , animals , dogs and cows , humans etc., all want to go at the same
time , without waiting ,so the flow gets disturbed and nobody gets
to go anywhere .and the traffic gets halted , some vehicles
try to go wrong side , because of which the pedestrians get stuck between the vehicles
, dogs and cows meandering around , looking to escape. At this
situation when there is a narrow screech or thump in between the two vehicles ,
the drivers get out and start arguing , in midst of the traffic mess , the traffic police takes
chance and ask for the documents , and if any papers are missing then you got
to lose your pocket . Here i want to point that even in between the traffic
when everything is jam , the cops instead of clearing the roads , puts a
checking , which again creates more jam. The work of traffic police is simple
,to avoid traffic jam , and direct the vehicles in proper directions , although
most of the cops do their jobs dedicatedly , and most of them have to go
through a very tough time , as the traffic is increasing in Hyd every day ,
traffic police commands our respect as they serve in hot summers , cool winters
, wet rainy days and during chaos and turmoil’s in the city, most of them are
honest and dedicated , but as it goes , a few bad fish's spoils the whole pond
, same goes with the police , a few corrupt police personnel s spoils the
whole department . The cops although have their assigned salaries , they are
not at all satisfied with it , Here i am talking about some cops , not all,
|
animals going on road , making the traffic halt .
|
The cops complaint that , the salary which they
get is not at all enough for daily needs .And hence they have to find other
means .. The problem with the govt jobs is that salaries are very less, the govt
has to see this.

Our traffic police , the third person on the bike is a cop , the traffic rule says triple riding is forbidden .
Now coming to traffic,
the roads have to be widened and maintained, the required authorities should
make a severe attempt to build up, the cooperator and the MLA s of the
concerned regions, should try to take opinions from the public and try to make adjustments,
all the concerned officials should be held accountable, the roads likely to be
congested, should be widened and repaired.. The shops which have crept on the road,
should be asked to arrange with in the pavement. The street vendors are to be
given a separate space, where they can do their business, without disturbing
the traffic .And all these stray dogs and cows should either be adopted or sent
to vet nary department.

ambulance stuck , how can the patient inside survive , if not taken to hospital quickly

Unless we don't take all
these measures , and put everything under one unit ,take required things under control , regulate accordingly ,there's always chances that you
escape narrowly or you don't .
