“The spikes are very sharp and can turn fatal if someone falls there. Especially with the school around, the risk is severe. They had not sought permission for any such installation. Even though it has been put up inside the township, the road is being used by the masses and we have to ensure their safety.”

The Police sent a legal notice to the management asking them to remove the killers that were planted at the Amanora Park Town a month ago at a cost of about 1.75 Lakh. Obeying the orders, the management has now eliminated the deadly metal strips. However, it is believed that the risk of wrong side driving saw a significant fall during the time period.

Speaking about the same, Sunil Karate, Vice President of Amanora said,

 “Considering the excessive vehicular commotion near the school, we had put up the tyre killers to ensure that people coming to pick their kids do not drive on the wrong side. The wrong-way drivers were a threat to kids’ safety. Also, we have seen multiple accidents every now and then. Since we put up these, the number of people driving in the wrong direction has decreased.”

With the tyre killers no longer a reality, it is time for you all to let us know your thoughts on the decision.
