Ludhiana: The Ludhiana Municipal Corporation has installed fluorescent speed-breakers near intersections where three roads meet. Municipal Commissioner A K Sinha told Newsline: “These will be installed at different places in the city to manage the continuous inflow of traffic.”To start with, two speed-breakers were installed near the Zone-D office on Tuesday. H S Salaiya of the civic body said: “Till now, we have installed two speed breakers, but we plan to instal about 6 more in this area. It is because there are many public places like schools, temples and gurdwaras. So, the inflow of traffic near these places remain high throughout. These speed-breakers are being installed after a joint survey of MC Traffic police.”
He added: “We started this project on trial basis from Zone-D office area; if we find it successful, we will implement the same in other areas, wherever there is a requirement to control traffic.” “The administration has taken a good step,” said a commuter.
