Rein in the rowdy bikers

As Eid approaches, the streets resonate with the warmth of joy. Amidst the laughter and excitement, a worrisome trend is the escalating use of reckless biking on the roads by the youth. Despite the season's essence of reflection and harmony, some opt for risky behaviour, posing threats to themselves and others.

The thrill-seeking nature of high-speed motorcycle riders can swiftly transform festivity into a tragedy. It is vital for the younger generation to grasp the potential consequences and prioritise safety over fleeting excitement. Road accidents during Eid not only bring personal grief but also cast a shadow on the entire community's celebratory spirit.

To ensure a safe celebration, collaboration between parents, the authorities, and the community is essential in raising awareness about the perils of reckless motorcycling. Let us collectively foster a culture of responsible choices, safeguarding lives, and preserving the true essence of Eid festivities.
