The junction near Two Pillars at Queula village in Ponda tends to be a most sensitive location. Vehicles proceeding towards different routes often over-speed at this spot thereby raising the possibility of a mishap sooner or later.
This being a remote area, vehicle riders often flout the rules and regulations of the Motor Vehicle Act. Cases of minor children driving a two-wheeler without obtaining a valid licence are quite common.
Similarly three persons travel on a single two-wheeler. Many of the riders proceed without wearing a helmet and some even lower their masks knowing very well that no authority would question or fine them at this location.
Conversation on cell phones while driving vehicles is also quite common. Further, lengthy materials are carried on hired goods carriers.
Such a situation proves dangerous to one and all. It is absolutely necessary that discipline is imbibed among vehicle riders on a permanent basis. The traffic department as also the Road Transport Office should take a note and depute its officials at this critical area which happens to be a death trap during peak hours.
Persons found violating the rules should be taken to task at once. Let us hope that the authorities would initiate prompt positive steps in this direction so as to assure discipline among the vehicle riders.
