Road accident a curse

Road accidents have become a sad reality in our country. While moving from one place to another, people cannot be free from thefear of accidents and media reports on road crashes often make people depressed. Sometimes, enough sympathy is not shown to families of the victims. The recent shutdown, to prevent the spread of coronavirus, has diverted focus from the issue of road accident, but it is not yet resolved.

Road accidents claim lives mostly of the earning members of families that become helpless for the rest of their lives. We strongly feel that many such accidents could have been avoided. Also, the state and society have some role to look after the survivors and family members of the victims of road crashes.
