Latur Road Zoo! : What kind of Latur Pattern?
If you want your outstation friend or relative to watch a “Road Zoo” , invite them to Latur. The city is presently crowded with animals on every 100 meters. A lot of accidents are taking place due to these. Stray dogs, cows, donkeys, buffallo’s and you name it. Two wheeler accidents are on a rise in the city due to these animals blocking the road.
Even people are not feeling safe to walk on roads due to stray dogs. All the above snaps are taken within the time span of 30 minutes and that shows how horrible the situation is at Latur. The above snaps should open the eyes of the Leaders from Latur. On political trips these roads are cleared of animals and then people are made to suffer. Not only people suffer but these animals too. Roads are not a safe place for the animals to live and animals rights activist should raise some concerns over these as animal deaths are also very common.

Latur does not require Traffic Police. Goverment can save a lot of money because the animals are doing more perfect duty rather than the on duty policemen. The traaffic can be controlled more effectively by them and that too 100% corruption free!

This is not good but this type of photo you can take from any city from india. In latur Trafic police is very much required because there are only 02 main roads and other are very small roads.

Yes, its true. Mostly all non-metro cities in India face this problem. However the traffic police situation at Latur is better than other cities like Solapur.

And and so bad about animals on tha roads? Its the very essence of being Indian.Although we must rugulate the movements of these animals so that they dont cause accidents..

True. But the problem was so severe that so many accidents were taking place. However, now no or very less animals are seen on roads. The authorities have taken action on this..so the post is less relevent now..but still one can go into the past watching this ;)
