Overloaded vehicles endanger lives

LALAMUSA: Locals, especially students have no option but to travel in overloaded vans and auto-rickshaws in several areas of Lalamusa.

Reportedly, transport and rickshaw owners carry passengers more than their permitted capacity endangering the lives of their passengers.

They take students to their schools and bring them back to their homes in overloaded vehicles. Often students are seen travelling on the roofs of such vans in the cold weather on the GT Road.

The locals urged the higher authorities concerned to look into the matter.

The Deputy Commissioner stated this during his visit to Lalamusa. He said security issues would be handled with the help of the CCTV cameras. Later, the DC visited Kharian.
