vehicles coming together at zero point
Jagran correspondent, Bareilly. Even after 24 people traveling in the bus were burnt to death in a horrific road accident, concrete measures were not taken to prevent accidents at Inverness Zero Point on National Highway 30 (Big Bypass). Due to this, after eight and a half years, once again a major accident was avoided on Friday.
On Saturday, when Dainik Jagran's team visited the spot and saw the situation, many vehicles were seen avoiding collision. The main reason for this is that vehicles come to this point from three sides simultaneously. All vehicles move at high speed and even braking becomes difficult when the vehicle takes a sudden turn.
On the night of June 4, 2017, a bus going from Bareilly was hit by a speeding truck coming from Shahjahanpur at Invertis Zero Point on Bada Bypass. Due to the collision with the diesel tanker, the bus caught fire and 21 passengers sitting inside were burnt to death on the spot. Apart from this, three passengers died during treatment. 15 passengers were also injured in the accident.
After this, various efforts were made at the government and administration level to prevent accidents at zero point. Highmast and street lights were also installed here. Apart from this, some direction indicators were also installed. On Friday too, like the accident that happened eight and a half years ago, there was a collision between a bus and a truck. In this, the driver was trapped in the cabin of the truck for half an hour. It was fortunate that the passengers sitting in the bus were not injured.
Dainik Jagran's team went to the zero point on Saturday afternoon and saw the situation and found that the vehicles coming from Shahjahanpur towards the city were not facing any problem but the vehicles going from the city were moving very cautiously while going towards Shahjahanpur-Lucknow on Bada Bypass, because the vehicles going from Shahjahanpur towards Rampur-Moradabad were coming at high speed and were not visible from a distance due to park and turn. Were.
Apart from this, vehicles coming from Moradabad were also suddenly turning to go towards the city. Many vehicles collided with each other due to vehicles coming simultaneously from all three sides. Directional boards are installed for vehicles going from Shahjahanpur and the city, but no board is installed near the zero point for vehicles coming from Rampur-Moradabad.
Here there is only one direction indicator placed downwards which is not visible from a distance. Apart from this, the high masts and street lights installed here also do not light up at night, which further increases the risk of accidents in the dark. There is only one board for the accident prone area here.
Construction of flyover can prevent accidents
Several accidents occurred due to vehicles coming simultaneously from both sides at Navadiya Jhaada turn on Bisalpur Road on Bada Bypass. Since then a flyover is being constructed here. In such a situation, accidents can be prevented only by construction of a flyover at Invertis Zero Point. With this, vehicles coming from Shahjahanpur and Moradabad will pass directly and vehicles entering and leaving the city will easily pass under the flyover. There will be no danger of them colliding with each other.
