Saftey on Roads in Goa. Another fatal accident in Guirim, near Tiklo Pump, and two more innocent lives, father and the son have perished under the wheels of a sppeding truck. The mother, another girl and a young child still struggling for life in the hospital. Apparently, the truck that knocked off the Maruti, carrying the ill- fated family, was in high speed and riding on the wrong side of the driving zone with only one of its head lights functioning. Why such disasters keep happening on roads in Goa? Why is that nobody is doing anything about it? Why this inefficient government, the NGOs or the public in Goa is not doing anything to save the precious lives? why can't the authoraties, I mean the traffic department and the govt. cannot do atleast the minumum? Is Mr. Madkaikar, the transport minister busy only making illegal money. Why at least they don't try to do the following?
1. Try to inculcate disciplined driving through awareness and also by geuinely imposing regular fines. At least by cunsensus, keep curruption out of ticketing and during petrolling on roads! 2. Marking lanes on high streets and imposing heavy fines for the offenders. 3. Police petrolling during night time to catch the offenders such as the truck in the above case. 4. Imposing safety restrictions such as using safety belts, helmets, side indicators, etc. And to see that people follow these rules or impose heavy fines and confiscate the vehicles. And strictly following trafic rules. 5. Why is that govt. after govt. is trying to outdo one another to be populist and friendly to a careless rider at the cost of public safety. Please the Govt. of Goa do something, save innocent lives being crushed uner the wheels on the streets of goa. Goanneters, your family members and friends, please ride your vehicles safely, use all the saftey devices and strictly follow the trafic rules. Please spread the message.
