Mangalore : The students of St Theresa School complained during an interaction programme with the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Uday M. Nayak here on Friday, that the problems they were facing after free corridor experiment was implemented by MCTP at Balmatta.

With the one-way rule creating a stream of fast moving vehicles in front of their school, students of St. Theresa’s School at Bendoor requested the traffic police to install speed-breakers and Zebra crossing to allow them to cross the road safely.

The students said that after the Bendoorwell-Balmatta Circle road was declared a one-way, buses were not stopping in front of their school. They were facing tough time to walk on the road during peak hours. As the school vans have been prohibited from being parked in front of the schools they have walk long distances in order to reach their school. It is an ardeous task to walk as there is no footpath. The situation gets worse when it rains heavily and the children end up getting drenched. The large number of vehicles, unbearable sound from the horns of the vehicles has proved to be nightmare to the students.

Mr.Nayak assured that arrangements would be made for students to cross the road safely and for private buses to stop in front of their school.
