Unfortunately in Jamshedpur there is no such system established at all major/minor road crossings like Sakchi Bus stand before abd after of Manga bridge, DC office, Jubliee park, Parsee fire temple, Sakchi eye hospital, TMH hospital, Jusco main office, Sakchi Govt Hospital.
Automobile industries pumped production of two/ three/ four wheel passenger/ commercial vehicles terribly on road specially Steel industrial town like Jamshedpur. SONARI Tata Steel Airport Jn. etc more than 70 such places needs implementation on public safety point of view. Infrastructure development like roads, flyover briges, under ground tracks for pedestrian, areawise parking, toilets, designed shoping complex, demarcated public service roads, commuters shelter stands is zero City like Jamshedpur steel plant, 20mtpa capacity.
Senior citizens priority at public service counters like banks/LIC post offices, public transport is yet to be promoted. No check on open food stalls spread like mushroom close to DC office Sakchi and Bistupur Thana.
