Another senseless loss of life because the so called responsible authorities have failed to widen and dualise roads. Year in year out budgets are made to improve the most important road which is also our economic bloodline. These people who rig elections and claim to have a mandate from people are accountable and responsible to no one other than themselves. Everyone knows that progress in this country in developmental terms never happened for the last 36 years. It is well known that wildlife roams the country especially at night. Why do you think Smith and them(hate them like them) put fences along the major highways. The fences were plundered by villagers to protect gardens in tribal trust lands and no one in Government did anything to replace them and safeguard lives in the process. All we hear from the so called authorities is that people should not travel at night. This is nothing other than an irresponsible statement from an admnistration devoid of ideas. This accident squarely lies in the hands of incompetent self serving tired and past by retirement date individuals who think they are now gods.
May all the souls lost rest in eternal peace
