Though the police have booked the owner of the dumper for negligence, local residents are up in arms against the administration for not checking illegal entry of dumpers.
"Everyday one or the other man loses his life to a rash dumper, but authorities turn a blind eye. There is fixed time for entry of dumpers but they throng roads throughout the day because our officials take money to allow them. Thousands of times different organizations have moved to administration seeking respite but of no use. Mewat roads are so dangerous but they do nothing because our lives are don't matter to them," said a local sarpanch.
"Police is doing its duty, but at this moment its safety of injured is that we bothered about," said Sukhbir Singh, SP, Mewat.
