Suryaa Now Telangana News Desk: Residents of Imamapur village in Toopran mandal are reporting significant difficulties due to the movement of heavy vehicles through their village. The constant passage of these vehicles on the main road has led to persistent traffic congestion, with villagers stating that crossing the road often requires waiting for hours.
On Saturday, traffic in the village was disrupted for approximately four hours between the afternoon and evening. This congestion caused vehicles to remain stationary, blocking both entry and exit points of the village. Two-wheeler riders, auto-rickshaw drivers, car drivers, and individuals traveling for essential purposes were affected, including those needing to attend to urgent matters.
Villagers allege that some vehicle operators are using the route from Allapur through Imamapur as an alternative path to avoid paying toll gate fees. They contend that the movement of heavy vehicles through the village's narrow roads makes local travel difficult.
Residents have expressed dissatisfaction with the response from the transport department and police, noting that authorities have not taken sufficient action to address the issue. Concerns have been raised regarding the safety of children, the elderly, women, and students, as well as the potential for accidents. There is further concern that emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, may face difficulties entering or exiting the village.
Villagers are demanding that district officials, the transport department, and the police intervene to restrict the movement of heavy vehicles from Allapur through Imamapur. Their requests include the installation of prohibition signs, consistent police monitoring, and an investigation into vehicles using the village to bypass toll fees. Residents are calling for clear regulations to be implemented to prevent further obstructions to daily travel.
