    RIP!!
    Another tragic accident where almost entire family wiped out while proceeding to a famous pilgrimage place!

    Rationally thinking, i wonder y the powerful deity failed to protect its followers who were headed there to pray n pay obeisance!! Incidentally, such ghastly accidents take place every other day in diff parts of our country where entire families r wiped out while going or returning from pilgrimages??

    Transport department needs to take strict action on any vehicles parking in night without tail light and reflectors / radium should b compolsory for all vehicles.. one who failed follow rules dept should cease their vehicle and immpose heavy fine.. we have lost many life because of carelessness of traffic and police dept.

    Transport department will do nothing sir... we only recommend so many action items ... but they sit blind... absolutely nothing. they will act drama now for 2 / 3 days , that closes the chapter, until next similar ghastly accident. but yes, we being responsible citizens keep recommending so many improvement areas.... even knowing department will not bother at all.

    How many people have lost lives in such repeated cases? Transport department needs to take strict action on any vehicles parking in night without tail light. What is the beat police doing? They should immediately book any vehicle without tail light and impose a fine of 10000. Once an owner/driver pays such hefty amount, he will remember life long not to park without tail light. It is better than people dying.

    In India, there is no value for human life. Repeated incidents have not woken up RTO nor transport department.

    Trucks parked on highways should be held accountable for these kind of accidents. What a heartbreaking tragedy. May their souls rest in peace.

    What a terrible accident? May be due to overspeed and sleepy mood this accident occured . No vehicles like trucks should be allowed to stop on such roads. Though stopped the danger lights be on. RIP.
