Police activity has increased on the road from Gorapadaw to Lalkuan after 3 people died in a crash at Teenpani. The incident has renewed concerns about wrong-way driving, speeding and disregard for traffic rules along the busy route.
The police were seen checking traffic arrangements in the morning and examining vehicle speeds and uncontrolled driving on the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) road. The checks followed the Teenpani crash in which 3 people lost their lives.
Residents seek sustained enforcement
Local residents said police visibility and enforcement often decline after a few days. They called for regular monitoring rather than short-term action following serious crashes.
Residents also pointed to riding or driving without helmets as an important factor in severe injuries during road accidents. They said vehicles travelling in the wrong direction should face strict action, while speeding must be controlled through consistent enforcement.
The concerns cover the wider road stretch between Gorapadaw and Lalkuan, where residents say the risk of crashes is increasing. They believe drivers must also accept responsibility and follow traffic rules.
Black spots remain a safety concern
Residents said marked black spots still lack adequate safety arrangements. The shortage of protective measures at these sensitive locations has raised continuing concerns about the safety of people using the road.
They have sought stronger arrangements at identified black spots and stricter enforcement of traffic regulations. Their demands include regular police surveillance, action against wrong-way drivers and measures to control high-speed vehicles.
The report also calls for safety arrangements to be improved at vulnerable locations. Consistent attention from the police, along with compliance by drivers, has been presented as necessary to reduce the risk of further crashes.
Conclusion
The Teenpani deaths have brought renewed attention to safety on the Gorapadaw–Lalkuan road. Residents want police monitoring, action against wrong-way driving and speeding, and adequate protection at identified black spots to continue regularly.
