Former Minister and Rajajinagar BJP MLA S. Suresh Kumar sought the Home Minister’s intervention to resolve woes faced by pedestrians and cyclists on the city’s roads.
Mr. Kumar, a bicycle enthusiast, in his letter to Home Minister Araga Jnanendra, a copy of which is available with The Hindu, has sought deployment of dedicated officers to ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists in all traffic zones in the city.
“The free left turn and right turn at many prominent junctions across the city, has only meant a continuous movement of vehicles making it difficult for women, schoolchildren, and senior citizens to cross the roads. Motorists seem to be the focus of road safety and traffic management, even as pedestrians and cyclists are being neglected,” he said in the letter.
