Overloaded Auto-Rickshaw in Mahoba Sparks Public Outcry Over Passenger Safety

An overloaded auto-rickshaw speeding through Mahoba, Uttar Pradesh, with nearly two dozen passengers has sparked serious safety concerns after being caught on camera. The incident highlights ongoing enforcement failures and rising public demands for strict action from police and district authorities.

An alarming case of road safety negligence surfaced in Uttar Pradesh’s Mahoba district after a three-wheeler auto-rickshaw was filmed speeding with an excessive number of passengers on board. The vehicle, travelling from Panwadi toward Mahobkanth, was captured by Hindi Khabar carrying nearly two dozen people—far beyond its permitted capacity—while continuing to move at pace on a public roadway.

The video underscores growing concerns about the unchecked operation of overcrowded transport vehicles across the district. Despite repeated directives and monitoring efforts by local authorities, enforcement against overloading appears to have fallen short. The auto, described by locals as a “daggamar” (illegally operated) vehicle, posed a clear threat to the safety of the passengers, many of whom included vulnerable daily commuters.

Residents say that rampant violations continue openly, and the latest incident highlights the risks posed by lax regulation and weak accountability measures. With overcrowded autos navigating congested routes on a daily basis, citizens fear that an avoidable tragedy may be only a matter of time.

Public pressure is mounting on the police and district administration to take swift and decisive action. Community members argue that stricter enforcement, targeted inspections, and penalties for offenders are urgently needed to prevent such dangerous practices from recurring.
