Sun, Sep 29 2019Local Government authority or NGO must arrange immediate compulsory counselling for a family members who they lost sole bread winner.
Its more important for police/authorities to save innocent families rather than focusing more lazy bike riders to check whether they wore helmet or not.
Govt must think and bring a policy in this regard. Immediate counselling by experts for bereaved family is a must after disaster stuck to their family

Sun, Sep 29 2019Very sad incident. pray that this situation will not come to anyone.
People who have good job now, stop spending money unnecessarily, stop putting photographs of your family international trip on Face book just to show your wealth and compete with others, be down to earth, our small children cannot cope up later when we loose our job.
Do not just read the news and forget it, take right action for your family.

Sun, Sep 29 2019Why the people are coming to coast all the way from other parts as if there is no river in their place?
we should not allow to commit suicide anyone in our soil.
Why because if a person dies with out completing his or hers age which is given by God then the athma or spirit will loiter in that area until his life on earth ends!!and tends to cause more accidents suicides etc etc.!!believe it or not!!

Sun, Sep 29 2019It is time the authorities raise the wall on either sides of the bridge so that no one jumps off. Some iron beams can be fixed so as to discourage people from easy access to take their lives. This is so tragic.
