Fatal bus accident

It never can be any pleasing news when we hear about people travelling to and from their homes being killed in road accidents. Monday’s Kavre bus accident that killed 27 persons and injured 39 seriously “27 killed in Kavre bus plunge” (THT, 16 August, Page 1) was very unfortunate. They lost their lives either by their own fault or by the careless driving of drivers. So far, thousands of passengers were killed in different parts of the country where the condition of roads especially in the hilly areas are extremely dangerous. Road accident occurs in the plains also due to reckless driving. However, drivers are not alone to be blamed for the dreadful road accident.

The bus in Kavre was carrying more than 80 passengers. Some of them were even sitting on its rooftop which should have been prevented by the traffic police assigned along the highways. Unless, the police personnel, who are responsible to be vigilant for ensuring that the drivers have properly followed the traffic rules and regulation, show their sincere presence along the highways, this kind by dreadful road accident will continue to take place in the days to come. They should always keep their eyes open and try their best to ensure that the drivers have followed the existing traffic rules.

Causes and consequences of self-immolation

Self-immolation—the act of setting oneself on fire—is one of the most extreme, painful, and lethal forms of self-harm and suicide.
