Tuesday’s inspections by top brass focused on vulnerable infrastructure like culverts over drains and roadside channels in key sectors, revealing gaps that demand urgent fixes.

ACEOs Sunil Kumar Singh and Prerna Singh zeroed in on Gamma-1 and P-3 sectors, spotting frail railings that pose serious risks. Their orders were clear: fortify railings, ramp up reflectors and cat’s eyes, and equip bridges to handle poor visibility conditions effectively.

Directed by CEO NG Ravi Kumar, the drive that started Monday has teams fanning out citywide to map danger zones. ‘Road safety is non-negotiable,’ the CEO declared, vowing zero tolerance for negligence.

Beyond bridges, the tour hit a Pai-1 construction site lacking proper safeguards—builders were told to add barricades and tighten security. Swarn Nagri’s damaged drain covers got immediate repair mandates to avert tragedies for walkers and motorists.

City Centre and Shagun Mart in P-1 also faced scrutiny, with on-the-spot improvement directives. The team included seniors Manoj Sachan, Ratik, and Sandhya Singh. GM (Projects) AK Singh oversees eight work circles that have flagged 48 risky spots, launching upgrades at 36 already.

Singh’s fieldwork added 12 more sites along DSC Road, Surajpur, and Central Vihar, where comprehensive works like slab laying, curbing, and safety installations are underway. He’s calling on residents to stay vigilant: spot a hazard, call the designated work circle number for quick response.

This proactive blitz is set to transform Greater Noida’s roadways into secure corridors, blending official vigilance with public input.
