Tue, Oct 01 2024This is a accident spot with history of fatal accidents and considered to be a haunted area in earlier days. Many lives have been lost during ast years and it is sad that people don't take it serious while driving and riding the two wheelers.

Mon, Sep 30 2024Very sorry for the lost lives. May Almighty God give them and their family members enough strength and courage to overcome their pain.. But as a matter of fact, Bike is meant for 2 people only as per law. Max you can carry 3 if the child is small.. But here 5 people on the bike clearly states the carelessness of the Father/Bike owner.. He risked 5 lives...!!
