    Pls don't get stressed out with church activities, these days we see lots of activities pushed on youth and adults, your life is important and spend time with your family , church is always second or third priority pls do remember (except for Sunday mass obligations . There must be guidelines to stop over the board activities during the feast and other events in the church or societal level . I feel sad for the family and may Lord give the strength to face the situation.

    Agreed 100 percent . You see any festivity season its OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE SYNDROME and everyone is stressed out . It's like Carol's, skits , events, food stalls r must, churches mostly seems like some cafeteria with lots blitz , in a long run this will affect devotess as many youths r staying away from church christianity pristinity is lost . Church has to be only for masses and nothing else .

    RIP!; Empathize with the dear ones loss! In the race to lay the maximum number of roads and bridges to break records all caution is thrown to the winds with no safety protocols being followed; no doubt there is a very steep increase in fatal road crashes in recent times! Moreover most of our cars (main factor in design is fuel efficiency) are not designed to withstand the onslaught of head on collisions at even half the speed what these deadly highways give scope for, which results in 100% fatalities! While traversing these so called highways it's always advisable to take public transportation upto the nearest destination point with life and limb safety in mind! BTW; imagine the destruction when electric cars getting involved in such impacts! The only solution is to phenomenally improve the public transportation and dissuade people from buying these cars! Only divine intervention can save the travellers from such ghastly accidents on these highways.😞🙏!

    RIP Joyston - Condolence to his family members. Again, this is end time (Kaliyug) cannot blame anyone, Devil prowls around like a roaring lion, searching for someone to devour. Time for all of us to repent & pray for the whole world. Church Leaders should cut down unnecessary festivals, programes & celebrations during end time as it is written. Actually, time to pray for the Leaders as we lack good shepherds in the community.

    time and again i have only one thing to say...driving or riding or even walking on indian roads especially after dark is like dancing with death....very sad to note that a young soul lost his life..there will not be any action on the owner or driver of broken down vehicle...in gulf countries...they have to put indicators or keep illuminating sticker boards at least 20 feet away from the vehicle....in third world countries sab chalta hai....and we are busy sending man on moon

    Very tragic incident. As you have rightly mentioned, there should be heavy penalty for parking vehicles on the road without proper indicators. The so called interceptor, traffic police are busy checking helmets, DLs etc, rather than focussing on these things.

    enchinaya gladson or sorrow son i dont know....what I am trying to say is that a third world country like India should focus more on basic infrastructure and safety facilities than concentrating on bringing cheetah from south africa, building statues worth 10000 crores and sending man on moon...EEGA HOKKITA MARAYA?

    One more non professional driver looses control in night driving resulting in loss of a valuable young life... People try to save hotel stay bills at times... At times they think night has low traffic and they can reach early... Unless one is a professional driver knowing the particular route night in and night out please avoid night time driving... RIP to the departed young soul... Wishing speedy recovery to the survivors....

    Please check if the warning triangle symbol kept by the broken down truck. Instead of blindly blaming the car driver. Most of the broken down vehicles do not put any symbols to alert the incoming traffic.

    Show me one single truck drivers who use hazard blinkers or triangle warning when parked on highway. This is India without international traffic system with a defunct licensing policy still relying on old 1960 motor act rule. One should be careful when driving on highway with precautions in mind.

    Prakash Manipal drivers rarely use the hazardous lights when a vehicle is parked on the road. When a vehicle is parked on the road the hazardous lights should be on, some drivers will not know the use of hazardous lights. Police only traumatising the two wheeler riders.
