Transport department has to decide

The elevated road passes in front of the District Hospital and Child PGI. Traffic also moves under the elevated road. The distance of the traffic passing from above is more than 100 meters to the hospital inside, but the traffic passing from below comes within 100 meters only. There is also a private school nearby, but the problem of determining the silence zone at all these three places is stuck. Now the Transport Department has to take further decision on this. This can happen if the department stops the operation of heavy vehicles on the road below the elevated road. For this, the Transport Department and the Traffic Police will have to take a decision. According to the officials of the traffic cell of the authority, once the efforts to stop the heavy vehicles below the elevated have been done from the authority level.
