Sikandra (Kanpur Dehat) Local people have started coming out openly against the famous Surya Dhaba of Sikandra and the petrol pump adjacent to it, which has become a hub of chaos on the service lane of the National Highway. The daily gathering of vehicles not only obstructs traffic, but has also led to serious road accidents. Despite this, the concerned department and administration are turning a blind eye. Heavy vehicles, trucks and tractor trolleys parked illegally outside the dhaba not only cause traffic jams, but vehicles coming at high speed are forced to suddenly apply brakes. Many times, there has been loss of life and property in accidents, but neither the police, nor the NHAI, nor the district administration has taken any strict action. Why are the officials silent? Local people allege that in connivance with the dhaba operator and the petrol pump owner, the officials come to the spot and return after making ‘a compromise’. The news was also published yesterday, but despite that no investigating officer reached the spot. Open encroachment on service road Encroachment continues on the service road outside the petrol pump. A large part of the road has been closed due to illegal construction and parked vehicles related to the pump. Pedestrians and common people are feeling helpless. Administrative inaction becomes the reason for danger The question arises that when the common life is getting affected by this chaos every day, then why are the officials silent? Have eyes been deliberately turned away? If strict action is not taken on this soon, then a major accident in the coming days can hold the administration accountable. Demand: Encroachment should be removed immediately The legality of operation of dhabas and petrol pumps should be investigated Traffic operations should be streamlined by clearing the service lane Traffic police should be deployed regularly to prevent accidents in future
