Mysore/Mysuru: Stodgy vehicles carrying goods of types, but without following any safety norms as stipulated by Transport Department, have become rampant in the city, but the authorities concerned, except for intercepting them at select locations to penalise the offenders, are in no mood to crack a whip on them.
Concrete mixers mounted on the back of trucks, tipper lorries carrying overloaded sand and gravel stones and several other goods are commonly seen on the city roads. As is the rule, those carrying construction materials, should carry sand and stone to the container level and must be covered with cloth or tarpaulin sheet to avoid the dust from spilling on to the road, that may often hit the eyes of vehicle users, causing momentary blindness, leading to mishaps, sometimes even fatal.
