Currently, many individuals risk their lives daily by leaping over the railings that separate the highway from the service roads on either side. Asif, unfortunately, suffered severe head injuries in the accident and was urgently transported to a private hospital. Tragically, he succumbed to his injuries later in the day.
In response to this unfortunate incident, the Chikkajala Traffic Police have filed a case against the bike rider, holding him responsible for causing death due to negligence.
The need for improved safety measures at accident-prone locations such as Kadiganahalli Gate is crucial. The proposal for a skywalk aims to provide pedestrians with a safe and convenient way to cross the busy expressway. By avoiding the need to jump over railings, individuals can significantly reduce the risk of accidents.
The incident involving Asif serves as a stark reminder of the dangers pedestrians face when navigating busy roads without proper infrastructure. It is essential for authorities to prioritize the implementation of safety measures to protect the lives of pedestrians and prevent such unfortunate incidents from occurring in the future.
