Srinagar: A shocking video from Kashmir’s Nowgam Bypass has gone viral on social media, showing a three-wheeler load carrier dangerously overloaded with bamboo poles.
The excessive load has caused the front of the auto to lift off the ground, putting not only the driver’s life at risk but also endangering other commuters on the road.
In the viral video, the auto driver can be seen struggling to control the vehicle while transporting an unbalanced and unsafe load.
This reckless act has raised serious concerns about road safety and the enforcement of traffic regulations in the region.
Despite repeated awareness campaigns on traffic safety, such incidents continue to occur, highlighting the need for stricter monitoring by the authorities.
As per transport rules, load carriers are permitted to carry only a limited amount of weight to prevent accidents. However, in this case, the auto seems to be carrying far beyond its authorized capacity.
Citizens have expressed their concerns, questioning the absence of traffic police at the spot and urging authorities to take strict action against such violations. Many have also emphasized that while earning a livelihood is important, it should not come at the cost of endangering lives.
Traffic police in Jammu and Kashmir have been actively working to improve road safety, but such incidents highlight the ongoing challenges in enforcing compliance. Authorities are urged to take necessary action to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
The viral video serves as a reminder for all transport operators to adhere to safety norms and ensure responsible driving to avoid putting lives at risk.
