  1. Respected sir,
    Metal plates of size approx 3×8 Meters, being used to cover the ditches, to continue traffic, are very much slippery, causing, skidding of two wheelers, resulting in numerous accidents every day. Few Rippled iron bars may be welded to make surfaces rough and avoid accidents due to slippery surfaces of metal plates.
    I am the victim of this negligence, my scooty made a skidding flying yesterday at 3 p.m. made multiple erosion and hurts on my left leg, knee and shoulder . I have X ray and treatment from Military Hospital.
    Accident occurred at Xing of Delhi road to Sharda road, MEERUT at around 3 pm.

    Sorry to say, 4 Policemen employed witnessed 6 such accidents (Their statement ) and took no pain to initiate/ report to avoid accidents.

    Insufficient knowledge with Policemen to take action / reporting may be updated.

    Regards.
