    Please catch the driver & hang him in public so that drivers who break traffic rules & limits will be warned. Secondly bring out all the traffic polices to road , warn them & make them compulsory daily drill on the respective roads. This Traffic Polices are active only when Politicians, Celebrities & Religious leaders arrival. DOn't don't bother to fulfil their routine job.

    The Police will never find the driver of the car.Because these car owners are rich and law of the land is applicable only to the poor people of the country.

    It seems ,Now a days MLA's are free without office works.how can MLA reach the spot before the police...Instead of this they can try to minimize accidents by making roads driver friendly...by pressing authorities to complete the projects as soon as possible.The road condition after trasi is so bad due to diversions here and there...

    This is happening mostly on NH66 due to road-widening (four lane)almost regularly.Total confusion due to road diversion.Vehicles are coming from all the directions without any rules,regulations putting the public in total chaos and confusion.Very dangerous to cross or wait for buses to catch in the bus stand.Another factor is over speeding like a bullet coming.Vehicles are entering from all the directions,the moment they get some chance to enter without giving any chance to the public to think.All the drivers/vehicle owners are taking maximum benefits due to road construction work at the cost of poor public,pedestrians.There is no human value in this world.Killing,dying,murdering is the daily affairs nowadays without any mercy,sympathy,courtesy.so bad.Concerned authorities/department especially NHI authorities should act immediately in order to regularize the traffic before it is too late.However my sincere prayer to almighty to grant eternal peace to the departed soul of poor lady and bestow enough strength,courage and tolerance to bear this irreparable loss.

    My heartfelt condolence to the family members of departed family.God bless them all

    India has to bring out strict traffic rules ,educate drivers to drive safe ,develop proper roads , signals etc, in order to cope up with the advanced motor cars , which can easily cruise speeds above 150 km /h . Develop proper infrastructure before bringing these cars on roads. Otherwise God only has to keep us alive .

    Poor lady rest in peace,
    Is this just accident or planned murder? Even VIPs are not safe on our roads for example Mundeji!
