SMART CITY?
Should all the Odiya celebrate and dance on the roads
after Bhubaneswar became a top smart city amongst 20 cities of the World?
Smart Road Crossing:
There is hardly
any provision for footpath and road crossing in Bhubaneswar. These following
vehicles ply during day and night on the main roads, truck, big and medium size
buses, school bus, petrol and diesel cars of different size, diesel driven
three wheeler auto rickshaws, medium size trucks, petrol bikes and scooty,hand
driven carts, municipality and sewerage vehicles, cows, bulls, buffalo and
street dogs on roads. No data on air and sound pollution level at Bhubaneswar?
No proper road markings. Most of the traffic lights do not function properly,
over taking on right and left without signal is a normal driving etiquette.
Traffic police and traffic lights signals do not synchronize. Smart drivers
outsmart traffic police. Only 30% drivers use helmet. No driver drives within
speed limits as mentioned on the roadsides. With all these should we celebrate
or cry?
