The lack of intervention by the authorities has raised questions about the enforcement of traffic rules in the area. The students, desperate for transportation, have resorted to these risky means of travel, but it exposes them to potential accidents that could lead to tragic consequences. Many locals have voiced their concerns, but so far, their pleas seem to have fallen on deaf ears.

Life-threatening risks

The alarming absence of intervention from local authorities has sparked widespread concern about the effectiveness of traffic rule enforcement in the area. Despite the clear and present danger posed by overcrowded vehicles, especially those carrying vulnerable students, both the Regional Transport Office (RTO) and the traffic police have remained passive. This negligence has led to a growing public outcry as people question whether the enforcement agencies are truly committed to ensuring road safety.

In regions like the Kundarki police station area, students who lack adequate transportation options are left with no choice but to take extreme risks. Hanging from the sides of dangerously overcrowded vehicles, they expose themselves to life-threatening situations on busy highways.

Given the frequency of such incidents on the Uttar Pradesh highways, it is crucial for the local traffic police and the RTO to step up and address this growing issue before it spirals into a major tragedy. The lives of young students should not be jeopardized due to a lack of transportation alternatives and inadequate enforcement of traffic laws.
