PONDA: The Dhavalim-Farmagudi bypass has become increasingly dangerous due to trucks parking illegally by the roadside.
Commuters have reported that despite clear signage from Kavalem Panchayat prohibiting roadside parking, many truck drivers continue to ignore these warnings, obstructing visibility for other vehicles on the highway.
The soft mud by the roadside is being dragged onto the road by the trucks, creating slippery conditions that pose a significant risk when overtaking.
With a lack of designated truck parking in Ponda, drivers transporting industrial raw materials are left with no choice but to park on the bypass. Locals have called upon the authorities to take immediate action to resolve the pressing safety issue.
