    And our people rocking as always, gathering around the accident location. See how many of them are wearing mask. If there were 1 infected in that group, all of them should have been infected already and ultimately blame the Government for spreading the virus.

    What I feel that already we saw many accidents in Pumwell flyover . The construction is not good. Before further damages, it is better to demolish and construct a international type Flyover for the Mangalore smart city.

    Do not blame the roads good words driver gets distracted by bike overtaking the vehicle first whether the driver was drunk which our police do not check even if it is morning lot of commercial drivers are liquor addicted, overloading of the vehicle which nobody bothers and lastly the condition of the vehicle

    Yes obviously!! Remember one thing it's not Congress or Bjp who sit and build it they pass the order and money. Quality of work should be questioned to both ruling party and builder. This accident is caused due to some reckless driving why do we try putting politicians in this matter
