Shamli Villagers Allege Overloaded Dumpers Are Putting Road Users At Risk

Overloaded dumpers from Nai Nangla mining point trouble villagers in Shamli

Shamli: Overloaded dumpers coming out of the Nai Nangla mining point in the Jhijhana area of the district are causing increasing problems for villagers and other people using the road. The vehicles, loaded with mined sand, are allegedly being driven recklessly on the roads throughout the day and night. Responsible officials have been accused of remaining silent spectators, while the department appears to be waiting for a major accident.

The situation has become difficult for commuters because sand flying and falling from the dumpers often gets into the eyes of people travelling on the road. Two-wheeler riders, in particular, are facing serious problems while trying to continue their journey. Even a small lapse in caution could lead to a major road accident, according to the concerns raised in the report.

Villagers allege that the dumpers are being filled with more sand than their permitted capacity before being sent onto the roads. As these vehicles pass at high speed, they continuously throw dust and sand into the air. This has made it difficult for people living in the surrounding area to breathe and for road users to travel safely.

The danger is said to be greatest for motorcycle riders and schoolchildren. Drivers travelling behind the dumpers are unable to see the road ahead clearly because of the dust and sand in the air. As a result, the possibility of an accident remains present at all times.

Villagers say they have complained to the concerned officials several times, but the problem has still not been resolved. They allege that no effective action is being taken against the overloaded dumpers even after the complaints. They also say that no concrete steps have been taken to stop sand from spreading across the road.

The situation has raised questions about why the responsible department is waiting for a major accident before acting. The concerns also include whether officials will take action only after someone loses their life.

Villagers have demanded that the administration and the mining department immediately stop the movement of overloaded dumpers, inspect the vehicles and take strict action against those violating the rules.
