    I really feel sorry for the loss Sanjeevi’s family members have to face with this incident. RIP Sanjeevi… I understand that speeding cars are a matter of concern.. but it is not just they who is responsible. It’s a national highway and its obvious that they will be in certain speed.
    Something that I have noticed in that area is that the local people there are not bothered about the law at all.. people just keep crossing the road as they wish and not bothered about the oncoming traffic. Auto rickshaw and 2 wheelers just roam around in wrong directions… It’s the police who has to maintain law and order in these areas..

    RIP departed soul!! This highway is pathetically designed even though there is very brisk movement of heavy traffic at high speeds!! There is no provision for a service road on the side for broken down vehicles or for those who are compelled to stop for some urgent reason!! Shocking is there is absolutely no place for humans to walk beyond the side barrier, there is only a white line drawn extending a few feet away from the barrier!! Pedestrians are at very high risk of being knocked down on this highway due to the high speed at which vehicles move!! Whoever designed this highway should be given a big award!!!

    Our Health and help system is bad, Can anyone stop a speeding car, no. Peoples unity is required. Now you have the best of mobiles, kindly do some good recording and put it in the UTUBE so let our government officials take whatever action is required. Speeding people think no end of themselves. See a life is lost. NO lesson will ever be learned. Jai Hind.

    Really very sad for Sanjeevi and her family. Indeed a pathetic situation prevails in such incidents.
    Well this is the time where we need the supporting hand from organisations like BD, PDF and Moral Policing. Otherwise in unwanted or not required situations such organisations and groups come in no time.
    Please think positive towards the betterment of our society and make it a safe place to live.

    May soul rest in peace.But 108 not responding for the emergencies is questionable even ambulance had other patient.Astonishment is that nobody attended injured for 15 valuable minutes - cause of disturbance.

    It is really pathetic, in most of the accident cases, people are unwillling to help due to the fear of police harrassment and not ready to take extra pain to render services.

    Earlier police harassment used to be horrible situations like this and now the situation is much better.

    Amongst the crowd, definitely there would have been some who are boasting them selves as service minded, ready to serve the nation, where are those in this hour of need?

    Really appreciate Sammad, convener of ‘M Friends what’s up group’ for taking the accident victim to the hospital and also informing the ambulance.

    Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved members of the family. May Sanjeevi soul rest in peace.
