Hello Sir/Madam, National Highway No. 68 ROUTE: Ulundurpettai - Elavanasur - ThiyagaDurgam - Kallakurichi - Chinnasalem, Thalaivasal - Kattukottai - Attur - Pethanaickenpalayam - Vazhapadi - Salem Complaint Location: V.KuttuRoad (Between Chinnasalem to Thalaivasal) Subject: Due to unnecessary Pedestrian Crossing number of accidents were increased This is Ramkumar.R and I am belongs to Rayappanur village which is comes under Villupuram district and located between Chinnasalem to Thalaivasal in NH-68. Our village people has done several request to close this “Pedestrian Crossing” with the Toll management but they didn’t taken any action against this. Due to this unnecessary “Pedestrian Crossing” now a days the number of accidents were increased. Since this “Pedestrian Crossing” opened to till date we can say there was more than 200 to 300 accident happened and more than hundred died and alive as a handicap. More than a village people were using this “Pedestrian Crossing” to cross the NH even there a safe crossing which is open under the bridge. As we aware any of the “Pedestrian Crossing” should not come immediately when the over bridge is begging or end. But this “Pedestrian Crossing“ is opened beginning of the over bridge (towards V-KuttuRoad to Thalaivasal) and including this crossing within 1 K Meters there is two crossings. Even two week before two accidents was happened and two was died. Both were middle age people their families were struggling a lot to run their family. Still I have the hope and trust on you that your administration will take some action on this to close this unnecessary “Pedestrian Crossing”. You can able to save many of the life’s as much quickly you can close this “Pedestrian Crossing”. Please do some favor for the public to save many of the lives (Technology & Improvements should save the people, Not to kill them). Thank you, Ramkumar R
