CI Tata Babu Sounds Alarm on Road Accidents, Urges Public Responsibility
Gadwal: A disturbing increase in traffic violations and fatal road accidents in the Aiza Police Station limits over the past three years has triggered concern among law enforcement officials and the public alike. Despite heightened enforcement and the use of digital policing tools, reckless behavior—particularly drunken driving—remains a persistent threat to public safety. Circle Inspector of Santinagar, Tata Babu along with SI Srinivasa Rao, shared the latest traffic enforcement data at a recent press conference, calling for urgent citizen awareness and responsibility to prevent further loss of life. Accident Statistics: A Grim Picture Emerges From 2023 to 2025, 45 road accidents were reported under Aiza PS jurisdiction, resulting in 26 fatalities and 53 injuries. The most alarming year was 2024, recording the highest number of accidents and deaths. Breakdown by Year: 2023: 7 fatal accidents, 8 deaths, 10 injured 2024: 12 fatal accidents, 13 deaths, 28 injured 2025 (Till Date): 5 fatal accidents, 5 deaths, 15 injured These figures reveal a steady rise in both fatal and non-fatal incidents, with 2024 nearly doubling the previous year's injuries. The trend in 2025 suggests the crisis is ongoing, requiring immediate intervention. Drunken Driving: A Deadly Habit A major contributing factor to these accidents is drunken driving, with hundreds of cases booked each year. Drunken Driving Cases: 2023: 282 cases 2024: 275 cases 2025 (Till Date): 239 cases Total (3 Years): 796 cases Though there's a slight year-over-year decline, CI Tata Babu pointed out that the issue remains deeply rooted. 'Awareness alone isn't enough. Without behavioral change, these numbers won't drop significantly,' he said. e-Challan System Unmasks Violations The e-Challan system, implemented to digitize enforcement, recorded a staggering 10,755 traffic violations over the three years, leading to Rs. 40,08,465 collected in fines. Year-wise Violations & Revenue: 2023: 2,302 cases – Rs. 5,40,975 2024: 6,165 cases – Rs. 20,23,250 2025 (Till Date): 2,288 cases – Rs. 14,44,240 These numbers highlight both improved policing efficiency and a continued disregard for traffic rules. CI Babu stressed the need to go beyond fines, as repeat offenders often remain unfazed by penalties. CI Tata Babu's Strong Message to the Public In a heartfelt appeal, CI Tata Babu called on every citizen to act responsibly: 'No matter how many challans we issue, unless the public becomes aware and accountable, road safety will remain a distant dream. Every rider, every driver has a role to play.' He emphasized five key safety practices: 1. Always carry a valid license and insurance. 2. Wear helmets and seat belts. 3. Never drive under the influence of alcohol . 4. Avoid speeding, especially on village roads and bridges. 5. Do not hand over vehicles to minors. He cited Pedda Vaagu bridge as a recurring accident hotspot, urging the local administration to prioritize safety improvements like better lighting and barriers. The Road Ahead: Recommendations for Change To counter the worsening crisis, CI Tata Babu proposed a multi-pronged strategy: Launching intensive road safety awareness drives Increasing night patrolling and weekend checkpoints Installing speed detectors and breath analyzers Introducing traffic education in schools and colleges Upgrading infrastructure in high-risk areas He concluded, 'Enforcement is only one half of the battle—community cooperation is the other. Together, we can save lives.'

Bingidoddi Village Unites to Install Ambedkar Statue After Desecration Incident Spurs Outrage
Gadwal: In response to a deeply hurtful act of desecration, the residents of Bingidoddi village have come together with unity and resolve to honor the legacy of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar by installing his statue in the village. This collective decision follows a recent incident where mud was thrown at a flex banner of Dr. Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution – an act that has drawn widespread condemnation. The incident, which occurred last week, was met with immediate outrage from villagers and activists alike. Members of the Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti (MRPS), along with local youth and elders from all communities, joined hands to file a complaint at the local police station. MRPS leaders, including Aiza Raju Madiga, Konkala Bhimanna Madiga, Minor Babu Madiga, and Balgery Esanna Madiga, strongly denounced the act and expressed the community's pain. 'This is not just an insult to Ambedkar, it is an insult to our entire village,' said the residents in a united statement. Currently, Bingidoddi village does not have a statue of Dr. Ambedkar. In light of the incident, the villagers unanimously resolved to correct this by establishing a statue of the revered leader. In a recent gram sabha, the villagers agreed to select a suitable location within three to four days and to perform a formal bhoomi pooja (groundbreaking ceremony) before proceeding with the statue installation. The villagers promised to pay grand tribute to Dr. Ambedkar, reaffirming their commitment to equality and social justice. MRPS leaders expressed concern that such incidents could sow division in a community that has always lived in harmony. 'We urge everyone not to let mischief-makers divide us. We stand with your village's decision and support your efforts to preserve unity and respect,' said MRPS representatives during the meeting. The decision and future plans were shared in the presence of local law enforcement officers, including Aiza Sub-Inspector and Shanti Nagar Circle Inspector Tata Babu. CI Tata Babu emphasized the importance of maintaining communal harmony and warned that strict legal action would be taken against anyone attempting to create discord or repeat such disrespectful acts. The meeting saw participation from all sections of the village society – youth, elders, and social group leaders – symbolizing a strong and unified stand against disrespect, while ensuring that the memory and values of Dr. Ambedkar are upheld with dignity and honor.
