Everyday i woke up with a news headline that the Bareilly roads again took someones live. We people at Bareilly are so used to it that we never thought that the people killed in Road accidents in a city like Bareilly over a year is much higher than the causalities in a terrorist attack.
As a roughly figure, road accidents costs 1 - 2 lives a day which gives me a annual figure of almost 500 lives lost. Its almost 10 folds of what we usually lost in terrorist attacks in a year.
We blame our neighbouring countries for a terrorist attack but whom to blame for accident. We know its our own people and their selfishness that cost a life to someone. Sometimes its a drunken truck driver, a electric pole on a road, poor visibility, bad roads. Authorities don't care and wait for some newspapers headline to wake up. Its always their negligence that costs a life.
Bareilly is in great need of Bye pass to curve all the traffic coming from Delhi, Lucknow, Pilibhit, Nainital to pass it without going through the city.
