Monu’s family members were joined by the domestic helps in protest.
They demanded the construction of speed breakers on both sides of the road near the red light, CCTV cameras, jersey barriers and the deployment of traffic police personnel in the area to prevent such crashes, the official said.
Police said normal traffic movement was restored after the protesters were pacified.
