    The ghat road to Baba Budangiri is very treacherous with no barricade. In some places there are hardly any space for 2 cars to pass. With low visibility due to fog and rain it becomes very dangerous and any small mistake from driver could prove fatal. It is always recommended to go in local taxi or jeeps to do the ascent as these people will have more experience driving in these conditions.

    It must be the duty of the Toll gate staff to check while passing. They should not allow more than the capacity of the car allowed. If they check properly, we can save many people. They think that their duty is only to collect the fees. They must check the occupants, car number,.

    That's not toll gate duty to check, it's highway patrol police duty to monitor vehicles.
