Guwahati,17.02.2024:In a bid to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and maintain public safety, the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) has issued a stern warning to all residents, urging them to refrain from blocking roads with building materials. The directive comes in response to a growing concern over the obstruction of thoroughfares due to construction materials, causing inconvenience to both motorists and pedestrians.
In an official statement released today, the GMC emphasized the need for residents to keep roads clear and accessible for the benefit of everyone in the community. The corporation expressed its commitment to maintaining a safe and efficient urban environment and called upon citizens to play their part in achieving this goal.
To enforce compliance with the directive, the GMC has announced stringent penalties for those found in violation. Residents who fail to adhere to the guidelines and persist in obstructing roads with building materials will face penalties of Rs 5000/-. The imposition of fines aims to deter individuals from engaging in activities that could lead to traffic congestion and potential safety hazards.
The municipal corporation highlighted the importance of collective responsibility, emphasizing that the cooperation of every citizen is crucial in creating a harmonious and functional urban landscape. By refraining from blocking roads with construction materials, residents can contribute to the overall well-being of the community and ensure a seamless flow of traffic.
GMC officials have urged citizens to be proactive in reporting instances of road blockades caused by building materials. They have established dedicated helplines and online platforms for residents to report violations and seek assistance in resolving related issues promptly.
The corporation’s initiative aligns with its broader commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Guwahati residents. By fostering a sense of civic responsibility, the GMC aims to create an environment where roads remain safe and accessible for everyone, promoting a sustainable and vibrant cityscape.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the guidelines and actively participate in efforts to keep Guwahati’s roads free from unnecessary obstructions. The success of this initiative relies on the collective efforts of the community, working hand in hand with the municipal corporation to build a safer and more accessible city for all.
