He also wanted to put up signboards on the flyover and also speed breakers to prevent vehicles from moving very fast on the flyover giving scope for accidents.

In this connection, he cited the incidents of youth zooming fast on the flyover and also indulging in bike-racing causing mishaps and also scaring other motorists passing on the flyover while seeking the commissioner to take required measures to check overspeed on the flyover for the safety of motorists.
