Srinagar, Aug 21: A man died after he was hit by a speedy tipper in the Goosu-Rohmoo area of south Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Monday.
An official said that a tipper laden with macadam hit a motorcyclist Manzoor Ahmad Wani from Goosu Pulwama, who received critical injuries.
He said Wani was shifted to a nearby hospital from where he was referred to Srinagar; however, he succumbed on the way.
Soon after the incident, the locals from Goosu and Rohmoo area staged a protest and alleged that despite the existing ban, the tippers and dumpers continue to brazenly transport uncovered bajris, boulders, sand and other materials that too at very high speeds.
They alleged that over 200 tippers are extracting minerals from Romshi Nallah in Rohmoo on a daily basis but no action is being taken against them.
“Tipper drivers have no regard for safety and consistently maintain their breakneck pace. This reckless behaviour forces us to hastily stop our vehicles on the side whenever we spot one of the tippers approaching,” said a local.
Another local said, “The situation is particularly concerning on Rahmoo-Newa road where pedestrians find themselves on the edge due to the lightning speed of these vehicles.”
The locals said the administration must take immediate and resolute measures to effectively tackle this critical issue. They requested the DC Pulwama to personally intervene in the matter that concerns human lives.
