Two cars crash into divider within 20 minutes

Two cars crashed into a road divider within 20 minutes on Friday night near Gate No. 2 of the Agricultural Produce Market, reportedly due to poor visibility and inadequate warning signs. No one was injured in either incident, and a major accident was averted.

Drizzle and insufficient street lighting made the divider difficult for motorists to spot, while small reflectors failed to provide adequate warning.

Residents said similar accidents had occurred at the same location earlier. On Saturday, locals repaired the damaged sign and installed a temporary warning board.

They urged the civic authorities to install larger reflective markers and improve street lighting along the main road to prevent further accidents.
