Prevent Rising Road Mishaps

Just some days back we had to hear the sad news of how a passenger bus coming from Rupandehi district fell into the Trishuli river and seven persons lost their lives while many others were injured. Such types of accidents, whether on the highways or even the roads of Kathmandu, have become almost common in recent times. The important question is, why are such accidents taking place? With the rainy season just a few months away and the road conditions getting worse, such mishaps will become even more frequent, like we have witnessed in the years before this.
