Bahraich's Gullabir Underpass: A Blind Turn of Fear, Accidents Soar at Night

• Gullabir underpass in Bahraich, 150-200 meters long, has become a source of fear due to blind turns and darkness, especially after 8 PM.
• Blind turns lead to frequent minor and major collisions as vehicles cannot see oncoming traffic; danger escalates at night for cyclists and two-wheelers.
• Lack of adequate lighting by the railway department makes the underpass dark and deserted after 8 PM, forcing women and pedestrians to avoid it.
• Waterlogging during rains traps vehicles and makes passage impossible, highlighting the need for better drainage systems.
• Locals demand street lights, CCTV cameras, and security guards to reduce accidents and fear, as the underpass is a main route for a large population.
