Overloaded, speedy tippers causing road fatalities in Butwal
According to locals, hundreds of over loaded tippers carrying limestone for Maruti Cement Industry have caused damage.
“This road was blacktopped just two years ago, due to overloaded tippers it is now ruined.” said local Shyam Dhami.
The 80 kms long road is full of potholes which have made travelling risky. One tipper carries 4 to 5 trips per day, according to a driver.
He said, “We are paid Rs 400 per trip, so to earn more money we try to make more trips driving over speed.”
Maruti Cement Industry, which has been mining limestone since many years, hasn’t paid attention to conserve local rivulets and roads.
