Missing barriers virtual death trap for commuters
Doraha, January 10
Missing barriers at a number of places between Doraha and Neelon, along the canal, may prove to be a death trap for the residents of the surrounding villages or the commuters, who commute by this road for the city. The stretch is marred by eroded edges and lack of essential supports.
Resultantly, there is every chance of a commuter meeting with ill fate, as this
road, which serves as a major bypass and a route to a number of villages, is
heavily used.
