Stone Laden Lorries Raise Safety Concerns on Lanco Hills Road

Hyderabad: Lorries carrying stones were reportedly seen moving along the Lanco Hills road during morning hours, causing concern among motorists.

Motorists expressed anguish over the transportation of stones without proper safety measures, stating that the vehicles could pose a risk to road users. They also said the movement of such heavy vehicles contributes to traffic congestion in the area during peak morning hours.

A video of a stone-laden lorry bearing registration number TS07 UF 7971 allegedly transporting stones without adequate safety precautions at around 9.30 am near Lanco Hills has gone viral.

Motorists have urged the Hyderabad Traffic Police to take necessary action against those transporting materials without following safety measures.

The Cyberabad Traffic Police had already warned that transporting uncovered materials could pose a serious risk to other road users. Materials may fall from loaded vehicles onto passing cars and two-wheelers, potentially damaging windscreens and causing injuries to bike riders. The falling material could also distract other motorists, increasing the risk of accidents and vehicle skidding.

The Cyberabad Traffic Police urged drivers to cover loaded vehicles securely with proper sheets and stressed the importance of ensuring the safety of other commuters on the road.
