Hi Everyone. It has been a long time since my last post. Much has happened in the city.
The most that concern all of us is the checking of helmet and seat belt by police in Rourkela. There has been a strict checking for the head gear for two wheeler rider since last few months. I did pay a penalty on more than one occasion.
The most important and visible change during this drive was the honesty by the department. You can not get away without paying a fine.
This also raises a very important and fundamental question. Do we need these checking on the streets where the speed can not be more than 20 kms. in the busy main road of the town. Also no one checks for these in the main high way. Also some one was quoting statistics to make a point that there has been very few cases of road accident in the city. Most of the accident takes place in the highway. However, these checking has seen the bank balance of the police dept. soaring.
Without question, the move is good for the citizens, it should be ensured that the checking should be done on the highway and also other law relating to traffic is enforced such as light condition, polluting vehicle etc. Only then we will have the true benefit of such rules and their enforcement.

Hi Rourkelites
I born & brought up in Rourkela. Now I have shifted to Hyderabad and presently live in Port of Sohar, Sultanate of Oman. Sohar is an Industrial city and nice place without any pollution. Govt here spends lot of money in keeping the city green and clean. Rourkela is a green city by itself. It is very difficult to find such a city any whre in India. For me Rourkela a the best city in India from all angles. I miss Rourkela very much and make sure to visit when ever I go to India. I love Rourkela and rourkelaites.
