    All drivers please take note.. When taking reverse please look to your right and left and ensure it is safe to do so. Today the negligence of a driver has cost an innocent life.

    Very Sad,
    Most of the migrated workers husband ans wife both work at construction site or road work and their children grow along with their work, only God can save these innocent toodlers, parents are least bothered about that, mostly their children grow automatically and continue the work of their parents.
    Government or authorities should control this and no children should be allowed at construction or road work site.
