Proper mechanism could prevent tragedies

The traffic mess in the City areas has allegedly claimed the life of a patient, who couldn’t reach the hospital on time due to the blockade of road in between his residential house in Narwara and SMHS hospital in Kak Sarai area here. The project presently under work should have been completed in phases as the road leads to the tertiary care hospital where a huge rush of patients from different parts of the Valley could be witnessed on a regular basis. But, the construction or the redesigning of the road for the past couple of months has landed the commuters in trouble during this period, which could have been avoided as the authorities should have put in place the proper mechanism to divert the traffic that could have ensured better and hassle free movement to the patients. Given the rush of the patients to the hospital, the authorities should have come up with the alternative route plan to ensure that the traffic mess is avoided along the route to ensure that the patients reach the hospital on time, which could have prevented the loss of life in the City area. The administration should now pace up the work on the road and ensure that it is completed within the next few days so that the patients heading to the hospitals will not be pushed to the wall and also the precious lives are saved from here onwards.
