Summary:
more-inThe Maredumilli ghat road in East Godavari district has turned into a death trap for commuters and wild animals as well, prompting the officials to consider curbs on vehicular traffic during the night time. The two-lane ghat road passes through dense forest and road crossing has been turning dangerous for wild animals, since a good number are being hit and killed by vehicles. “It’s a win-win move as it will reduce accidents and the death of animals as well,” observes the official. The ghat road connects Rajamahendravaram in East Godavari district with Bhadrachalam in Telangana. One can reach Chhattishgarh and Odisha by taking the Chinturu route from Maredumilli, hence the vehicular traffic is considerably high here at any point of time..
