(Letter published in GT 4/1/11. Also sent to Herald but not published.)
The tragic and horrific road accidents that have taken place in the last one
month have occured in areas where roads are sufficiently wide. This only
goes to prove that the justification given by the politicans and cops that
the widening of the National Highways is a necessity for reducing road
accidents is all humbug.
Anyone can see that the underlying cause of road accidents in Goa is
reckless driving by the filthy rich youngsters and the consumption of
alcohol which is encouraged throughout the State at all times of the day.
Organising road safety week is a cosmetic activity meant to squander public
money. It is not surprising that when it comes to the issue of driving under
intoxication there is nothing but silence because Goa's tourism is hinged on
booze.
