Unfortunately the curse of the public for the increase in cost of living has taken the toll on this innocent man and not the real perpetrators.

kalu nangi Tuesday, 13 August 2013 07:01 AM

Almost all of the previous comments would have been unnecessary if the name of the driver had been published.

A common man in the country could meet with accidents. There are much serious accidents taken place. everybody knows that. He's a common man end of the day. Only thing is that the common man's law may not be enforced here. via DM Android App

Gamini Tuesday, 13 August 2013 02:58 AM

What's the big deal writing about these things without giving the names of the people involved ? This only leads to speculation and is of no news value.

suresh Tuesday, 13 August 2013 02:59 AM

Ah thats ok, we'll pay for it..

Prasanjit Tuesday, 13 August 2013 03:00 AM

Same with economy.. The hit-man escapes!!

Kiris Baba Amaray Tuesday, 13 August 2013 03:01 AM

May be this man was fully intoxicated. We don't mind if this man would have been hurt, but our worry is about the Public money and Public property.

PRASANNAJIT Tuesday, 13 August 2013 03:06 AM

Tax payers money.

SADA Tuesday, 13 August 2013 03:20 AM

We will replace or relocate the parapet wall

janmanjanmanj Tuesday, 13 August 2013 03:28 AM

I'm totally agree with Gamini. This is what freedom of media.

BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 13 August 2013 03:51 AM

This is the country of "hench-aiya's". News report appearing without names are when the journalists become hench-aiya's to these higher-ups.

Porky Pig Tuesday, 13 August 2013 04:04 AM
