Atraffic signboard that was installed in the initial stage near ‘Desai merchants’ in the vicinity of the old bus-stand in Ponda has been existing in a dilapidated condition.

Besides, it is covered with cable wires and hence is invisible for travellers proceeding along this location.

Not only two-wheelers but even private cars proceed during major part of the day.

Since vehicles are prohibited from proceeding along the internal narrow road, there is every possibility of a mishap taking place at this strategic location sooner or later.

In order to enable travellers to have a clear view of this particular signboard, it would be worth on the part of the concerned authorities to provide an alternate signboard with immediate effect.

Public at large should be assured safety on a permanent basis.

The RTO officials as also the Traffic Cell should take a serious note of this important matter and initiate a vigorous drive against vehicles proceeding along this particular location.

Strict legal action should be initiated against the defaulters without any discrimination.

Let us hope that the authorities would initiate prompt positive steps in this regard without any further delay.
