Villagers Allege Overloaded Dumpers Without Number Plates Threaten Road Safety In Shamli

The movement of overloaded dumpers from the Nai Nangla mining point in the Jhinjhana area of Shamli district has become a growing source of concern for local residents. Villagers allege that some of the dumpers coming out of the mining point are operating on the roads without number plates. The continuous movement of these heavy vehicles has raised questions about the safety of other vehicle drivers, villagers and schoolchildren who use the roads.

Despite the concerns, no effective action appears to have been taken by the Transport Department and the Mining Department. The villagers say that overloaded dumpers continue to move through the area, while the responsible officials have remained silent on the issue.

It is reported that dumpers carrying sand from the mining point keep moving on the roads throughout the day. Villagers allege that several vehicles are carrying mining material beyond their prescribed capacity. They say that this creates a constant risk of an accident on the road.

The operation of vehicles without number plates has also become a concern. In such cases, identifying the vehicles and taking action for violations of rules could become difficult. The villagers say that the authorities need to check the vehicles operating from the Nai Nangla mining point and take action according to the rules.

A few days ago, villagers of Udpur village stopped the overloaded dumpers and staged a sit-in protest against their movement. During the protest, the villagers said that they were facing daily problems because of the mining dumpers.

According to the villagers, children from the village have to pass through heavy traffic while travelling to and returning from school. They also said that villagers walking on the road and two-wheeler riders face the danger of an accident because of the movement of the heavy vehicles.

The villagers had warned that if the operation of overloaded vehicles was not stopped in time, a major accident could take place one day. During the protest, they also demanded that the concerned officials resolve the problem.

However, the villagers now allege that no permanent solution has been found. They say that the movement of mining dumpers has continued despite the earlier protest and the demands raised before the officials.

Questions are now being raised over the functioning of the RTO, the Transport Department and the Mining Department in connection with the vehicles coming out of the Nai Nangla mining point. If vehicles without number plates and overloaded vehicles are operating on the roads, checking them and taking action according to the rules is the responsibility of the concerned departments.

The villagers hope that the officials will take cognizance of the matter, arrange an inspection of the vehicles and take action against those violating the rules. They have also raised concerns about the safety of schoolchildren, villagers and other people using the roads.

It remains to be seen when the Transport Department and the Mining Department take action on the complaints and the safety-related concerns raised by the villagers. For now, local residents continue to wait for relief from the movement of overloaded dumpers.
