We have increased trips for fun and holidays...it has become a fashion now ..I don't blame these trips and people should enjoy life and it is good for the locals tourism and yet what measures we have taken on health and safety issues ..Our roads are bombarded with cars and three wheels and other vehicles..more and more vehicles are coming into our roads and yet our roads are limited ..likewise our Lakes ; rivers and sea don't have any safety measures...How many more people we are going to lose for this kind of incident? Who is responsible for this ?.Still our doctors ; health professionals and civil servants and politicians are sleeping and yet we can't take this any longer ..this beautiful country is becoming killing field for many things why ?
