Recently, my family members were involved in a serious accident on the Bambolim highway, a once-peaceful route along the Holy Cross shrine. This heartbreaking incident has spurred me to address the alarming rise in fatal accidents on this road, prompting a sincere plea for urgent action from concerned authorities.
Navigating the complexities of modern roadways, it’s crucial to understand the challenges faced on the Bambolim highway. Proposing the installation of CCTV cameras along the road is a vital step to tackle the root causes of accidents, serving as impartial witnesses to over speeding and hit-and-run incidents.
The power of surveillance cannot be overstated. CCTV cameras act not only as deterrents to reckless driving but also play a pivotal role in holding offenders accountable for their actions. This proposal aligns with a broader initiative to comprehensively address factors contributing to the surge in fatal accidents.
Collaboration among Public works Department, Highways Department, Transport Department, National Highways Authority of India, Traffic police, law enforcement agencies, local Municipalities, Panchayats and all other concerned Departments is crucial. Thorough inspections of road conditions and innovative infrastructure improvements are needed to create a safer environment. Citizen’s plea for enhanced safety measures is a demand for transformative changes on this perilous road.
In addition to technological solutions, public awareness campaigns are instrumental in fostering responsible driving. Local authorities and community leaders must unite to educate the public on adhering to speed limits and respecting traffic regulations. A collective effort is essential to instil a sense of responsibility among all road users.
The recent tragedies on the Bambolim highway underscore the urgency of these initiatives. Every life lost is a stark reminder that the status quo is no longer acceptable. By embracing a comprehensive approach that combines surveillance technology, infrastructure improvements, and community engagement, we can transform the Bambolim highway into a safer passage.
In the face of adversity, my personal plea for action resonates with the concerned authorities, inspiring collaboration to prevent further loss of life. The time to act is now, and the installation of CCTV cameras stands as a tangible and impactful step toward creating a safer and more secure Bambolim highway.
