Power cut, traffic jam due to heavy machinery vehicles in Samkhiyali belt

Samkhiyali: With a lot of industrialization and the presence of large ports, a pocket of the Kutch district is facing a different kind of problem. The issue is pertaining to the movements of ODC vehicles (large vehicles that carry heavy machinery including windmills). Due to a lack of piloting and escorting vehicles, many such large trucks carrying heavy machinery cause hours-long traffic issues on the Samkhiyali highway. Another issue is pertaining to the power cut. Due to tall machinery vehicles, the power supply firm Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Ltd (PGVCL) cuts power to prevent any electric shock incident. The transporter needs to approach PGVCL in advance for this cause after a survey of the road. Yesterday, Samkhiyali, Lakadiya, Chitrod, and other villages faced another power cut following passing of heavy machinery trucks. DeshGujarat
