In a decisive move to curb road accidents and enhance commuter safety, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has rolled out a comprehensive campaign across the city. On Tuesday, senior officials conducted thorough inspections of bridges, culverts, and roadside drains in various sectors, issuing firm directives to bolster safety measures.
Additional Chief Executive Officers (ACEOs) Sunil Kumar Singh and Prerna Singh led the checks in Sector Gamma-1 and Sector P-3. They identified weak railings at multiple spots and ordered immediate reinforcements. Officials mandated the installation of sturdy railings, along with more reflectors, cat’s eyes, and other safety gear to prevent mishaps during low visibility or nighttime driving.
This initiative, kicked off on Monday under CEO NG Ravi Kumar’s instructions, underscores the authority’s top priority: making city roads accident-free. No lapses will be tolerated, officials emphasized. Teams are scouring the city to pinpoint black spots and high-risk zones.
The inspection extended to a builder project in Sector Pai-1, where inadequate safety arrangements prompted orders for extra barricades and enhanced protections around the construction site. In Swarn Nagri sector, broken drain slabs were flagged for urgent repairs to safeguard pedestrians and drivers.
Teams also reviewed the City Centre and Shagun Mart areas in Sector P-1, issuing corrective orders. Senior managers Manoj Sachan, Ratik, and manager Sandhya Singh accompanied the ACEOs. Under General Manager (Projects) AK Singh, all eight project work circles are actively engaged, having identified 48 accident-prone sites so far.
Work has begun at 36 sensitive locations to upgrade safety features. GM AK Singh personally inspected DSC Road, Surajpur, and Central Vihar, marking 12 more points where slabs, curbs, soil filling, railings, reflectors, and cat’s eyes are being installed.
Citizens are urged to report potential hazards directly to area work circle in-charges via provided mobile numbers, ensuring swift action. This community-driven approach aims to build a safer Greater Noida for all.
