    Prasad was a good guy, he was like more than a brother to me, i still remember those days which we spent together. For every work we use to call him only, His brothers (Sandeep Amin & Pradeep Amin) had lots of dreams ablout his future. He lost his life due to negligence of MGM college management & staffs. Even Everybody aware of that place how risky it is. Iam feeling so bad for his mom still she is didn't come up with this shock & he is the most lovable person for her among her 3 childrens. She tried a lot to stop him for not to go even he did not got permission from his mom & elder brother(Sandeep Amin), after not getting permission & money from his home he took money from someone els & went for a Trucking. For this incidence i totally blame college management for choosing such a dangerous place where people loss their precious life. I demand Prasad family should get nice compensation from college management.

    It is sad that an young boy lost his life because of overconfidence and negligence both by him and his team leaders. Let it be a warning message to all others who take unnecessary risk.

    RIP. I have noticed most of our picnic spots are too dangerous. There are some spots which are part of the resorts , if something happens even emergency vehicles cannot reachable.

    Agreed. Our country is not developed yet. There are no proper roads in many places. We cannot call emergency vehicles because no network at times
