    Shift the highway outside the city. Today we have small trucks.In five years we will have huge trailers and other transport vehicles and this puny so called highway will have cause even more loss of lives. When small villages in karnataka have been sanctioned bypass roads what are your elected representatives doing?. In any case why trucks have to enter city limits at all?.

    sad.May his Soul rest in peace.whether heavy vehicle or light,when everyone drives carefully ,in City or out,following rules and regulations,some lives could have saved.and some pain and Problems at their homes be lessened.Just see last Picture in that narrow road between two vehicles,someone tries to drive bike with two People.why do they cant go behind,instead of hurrying and jamming?There is no Need of Speed breaker,.with speed breaker can someone who doesnt know can break their neck while driving fast.or overturn.Only if MCC look into this Problem seriously and do something?

    RIP. Daiji should bring out to public notice places were there is need of speed breakers such as junctions and front schools and colleges.so concerned ppl take precaution. That can be public service and contribution to society.
