Office of- Nagar Nigam,
Ghaziabad.

Sir,

Preamble :
Last month Amar Ujala reported death of Shri Maheshwari, a retired Government servant, who was having morning walk in a hit and run case in Raj Nagar area is disturbing and unfortunate.

Earlier another death of morning walker in similar circumstances around Shani Mandir in Viveknand Nagar area was reported by Amar Ujala. These unfortunate accidents victims lost their life due to careless and unprofessional attitude of the officers of the Nagar Nigam.

The pedestrian can not move away from the road to avoid collision with the vehicles. The responsibility to provide enough space on the sides of the road for pedestrians has not been discharged.

These residential areas fall in the limits of Nagar Nigam, Ghaziabad. These unfortunate accidents have still not evoked any action from Nagar Nigam and encroachments have not been removed.
