AGARTALA, Jan 30 (TIWN): An emergency like situation has created at Agartala after a 26 years young man named Roni Das died at Jogendra Nagar due to road accident. The vexed local people of that area burnt the truck which killed the young man there.The angry masses reportedly damaged the truck and later they burnt it.The truck which was bearing sands over it, was in reckless mode over the Howrah Bridge at Jogendranagar. Roni Das was passing though the road that all off of a sudden it hit him and as a result he died. When Fire Brigade came the local people didn't allow to come near the truck. Presently the situation is better as huge numbers of police were deployed after the incident and also SDM S Chowdhury is on the spot. It was just on Sunday that DGP K Nagraj had claimed accident rates have decreased by 16 %. “There are so many pending cases under Lower courts where the drivers are not clearing the challans which had been fined by Traffic police for breaking traffic laws. As a result, the number of pending cases are hugely increasing in lower court.

 To avoid the number of cases in courts the fining should be taken by ‘cash-on-spot’, when the driver will directly pay to the police man. 

Moreover, chances of accidents also raised as due to the easy way to avoid court with exchange of some money reckless driving practice also increases a lot.

But the officials in Tripura are taking the accident cases and traffic laws so lightly that they are calling ‘challan-pending casses’ as a burden to the court. 

However, after placing his demand Nagraj also mentioned,’…one life is too much to lose; we should make it zero’. Boosting about his police he said, ‘The death rate whereas in whole is 11.5 per lakh, in Tripura is 4.6 which is much lower than the Central rate. The accident when is 39  in Tripura its 19 only’. ‘In last few years we have overcome the situation and peace is much prevent at now’, Nagraj added.  

But question raised, with cash-on-spot Tripura’s pending cases will be diminished; but will it be helpful to diminish the risks or death rates?

The survey says since the new year’s beginning the accident rats are massively increasing in state.

1.     On January 15 a maruti van TR01F2011, on losing control bumped into a rickshaw and a bicycle. In the incident, rickshaw puller, two persons in the rickshaw and two persons in the maruti van were wounded.

3.     A young man named Bapi Nandi age 33 years was dashed by a scooty. The incident took place on Jan 15 at Tepania, R.D Block.

4.     On 4rth January, 1 killed, 7 injured : The accident held on the National Highway when an auto bearing number : TR052429 hit by the truck numbered :AS11AC3841. All of a sudden the hapless people sitting inside the auto became critically injured among them the drived died on the spot. The driver has been identified as Uttam Debnath (34).

5.     On Jan 5, two persons died in a road accident at Amtali just on Thursday. The accident held when a scooty was collided with a huge truck at 2 PM. Debashish Debbarma & Ganguli Debbarma are the two hapless deceases have been identified who died in that fatal accident.  

Apart from that more 2 deaths held at Amtali. Day by day the increasing accident rates has created tension among the citizens here.

In this situation Nagraj planning for decreasing crime rates by ‘cash-on-spot’ system.
