Unusually high speed breaker in Quepem

This is to bring to your kind attention that the height of speed breakers near Quepem Primary Health Centre is very high. The recent tarring of the road has left the speed breakers abnormally big in height, higher on one side and lower on the other side. Despite several officers using the road, no one has shown concern to rectify the height of the speed breakers. I call upon the concerned authorities in the PWD roads section as well as the Traffic Cell at Quepem to immediately arrange to rectify the size of the speed breakers.   

The marks near the speed breakers are a testimony to the number of vehicles’ chassis touching the road surface. The speed breakers are a sure disaster in waiting for two-wheelers and small cars. Almost all buses have difficulties in crossing the speed breakers, with drivers often resorting to driving the vehicles in a diagonal manner to avoid the very big speed breakers. I request the Traffic Cell, who are routinely moving on the same road, to call upon the concerned authority to rectify the faulty speed breakers.
