Dug-up Seminary Hills-Telangkhedi Road Turns ‘Accident In Waiting’ Spot A section of the Seminary Hills-Telangkhedi Road in Nagpur has become a hazardous spot for commuters due to ongoing pipeline work that left a deep trench across the busy thoroughfare. The excavation, located near the Mother Dairy plant and NCC Group headquarters, has created a dangerous situation with inadequate safety measures, prompting concerns about potential accidents. Locals and drivers have reported that the lack of proper barricading, warning signs, and reflectors has left the area vulnerable, particularly during evening hours when streetlights are non-functional and visibility is severely limited. The trench, which splits the road, has forced vehicles into risky maneuvers. Two-wheelers are squeezed through narrow gaps, while four-wheelers are unable to navigate the road and are compelled to make U-turns, causing traffic congestion and confusion. In one alarming incident, an ambulance had to turn back due to the unsafe conditions, raising fears about the potential loss of critical time in emergencies. “Had it been an emergency, we would have lost crucial time changing the route,” said the ambulance driver, highlighting the severity of the situation. Residents and regular commuters have expressed frustration over the lack of planning and safety precautions. Deepak Korgaonkar, a local resident, warned that the absence of warning boards or lights makes the trench nearly invisible at night, increasing the risk of accidents. Another commuter added that the road, which is frequently used, has been left in an incomplete and unsafe state, with no proper measures taken to protect drivers.#dharampeth_zone #rajkumar_meshram #seminary_hills_telangkhedi_road #mother_dairy_plant #ncc_group_headquarters

The authorities have warned that strict measures will be taken against those who continue to avoid their responsibilities. The census operation is being managed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, and adherence to official directives is mandatory. Officials from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation confirmed that several officers and employees designated as enumerators and supervisors in the Dharampeth zone have not reported for duty. The absentees include a significant number of teachers and staff from schools, colleges, semi-government institutions, private institutions, as well as employees from state and central government offices. Taking the situation seriously, the administration has initiated the process of filing cases against the absent enumerators and supervisors. Department heads of the respective institutions have been instructed to ensure immediate compliance with the orders. Assistant municipal commissioner Rajkumar Meshram of the Dharampeth zone urged all staff to participate in the census work promptly to ensure the smooth execution of the exercise.
