    Why can't the highways highly paid cursed management make dividers/ overhead bridges for pedestrians in such areas especially college and school areas. Looks like feku bakths not interested in lives of poor kids and teenagers. Daily we have six deaths due to accidents in India. Will we ever value life's of innocents future scientists or inventors?

    Tempos , modified goods carriers are a menace like tractors in north India. Very poor maintenance and disregards for lane discipline above all reckless driving. Highway patrol is non existent. Policemen busy at busy intersections hunting bike riders. These goods carriers should be assigned speed limit no more than 60 kmph. Fixing radars at hot spots would be a deterrent.

    Very very sad.The driver took the life of 5 people and others injured seriously ,self is now in ICU.Was it necessary to fly with so many people at the back ?Check first of all whether he had a licence?So many families lost their bread winners.No day goes without hearing either serious accidents or someone dies on road.Heartfelt sympathies to their families.May the souls rest in peace.

    Carrying people ( except on the seat next to the driver)on goods vehicle is illegal. This rule has to be implemented very strictly.

    "The deceased workers are said to be natives of Uttar Pradesh. The remaining occupants sustained serious injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. " What a tragedy ! Migrant laborers (bread earners) came to earn for their families but so unfortunate to end up life abruptly. From the accident it is clear that nothing but speed brought the misery. Wishing speedy recovery to the injured people.
