Everyday, we hear a lot about shootings and road accidents. I don't say the Police can't stop without the support of other relevant parties. But, the Police has a big role to play to minimise.

The ONLY NEWS that we get to read or see on a daily basis, thrice a day, is a death either by accident or killing. There was a time that the news of an unnatural death would shock not only a particular village but the proverbial nearby seven villages. But today such news is SO natural that people simply take it in their stride as just another happening. However, we still pity the deceased for its a human life.
