    Every day one hears of these fatal accidents. Whereas it is not known in this particular the cause of the accident, perhaps it is the negligence of the driver may have resulted in the sad catastrophe.

    Whatever may have been the cause of the sad episode, it is expedient that an educational program be conducted for all drivers and notices put up advising the drivers to be cautious ... NOT TO OVER SPEED ... NOT TO OVERTAKE FROM THE LEFT....NOT TO BOARD OR ALIGHT FROM MOVING BUSES... NOT TO HAVE RECOURSE TO PARALLEL STOPPING ETC.
