Share autos

Share auto is a boon to the public. As it is not affordable to engage a separate auto, ordinary people prefer the share auto. It is a cheap and quick mode of transport and goes to every nook and corner of the town.

Unfortunately, some of the share auto drivers do not adhere to speed limit.

To compete with mini buses, the drivers resort to rash driving. Police should regulate movements of the share autos.

Posters, hoardings, notices on political meetings, birthdays, marriages, death anniversaries, religious functions prayers etc. adorn all cities and towns in the state.

These give a shabby look to the towns and the cities. There should be a strict law banning posters and hoardings. Advertisements could be broadcast through FM radios or telecast TV channels.

Road widening has been going on between Five Roads and Hasthampatty in Salem at a brisk pace. The Corporation should also consider widening Military Road near Ammapet. It horrible to drive on this road, especially for two wheelers.

The Namakkal-Salem NH-7, a 50-km stretch, is in a pathetic state. All vehicles passing through this highway face problems owing to bad road maintenance.

When four lane work is in progress, the existing road has not been not maintained. As a result, travelling time has increased from 60 minutes to 100 minutes. Many heavy vehicles break down because of the bad road. National Highway Authority of India should take necessary steps to improve the situation.
