    The government should take immediate action for starting the work of widening the road which has already been given to contractor now.

    There should be all the safety actions that need to be taken

    Fish ferrying trucks are always drive overspeeding very dangerously on the traffic congested roads. They break all the rules and overspeed more urgently than the ambulances.
    RTO should particularly look into these death traps and send a circular to the fish truck owners.

    Fish Lorry drivers have to meet their deadlines to reach the destination like Udupi-Mangalore Express bus drivers.
    Need to take proper precaution , action by authorities.

    * Fish,Meat etc perishable should not allow to transport in a common truck/pickups.
    *Municipality or Food control department implement strict rule to transport in a Reefer-Pick up like other countries or penalize heavy and cancel their license.
    *Once Perishable items transported in a Reefer pick ups then there is no rush to reach destination since food is temperature controlled and preserved.

    *DISTRICT ADMIN PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES AND SAVE LIVES!
    *THIS IS SECOND FISH VEHICLE HITTING LIKE DEADLY IN A SPAN OF WEEK!
