Roads or death traps?

In the post-Eid period of ten days, road accidents claimed 111 lives. During this time, buses remained crammed with passengers. Reckless driving, unfit vehicles, overloading, etc. are some of the reasons why road accidents occur so frequently. Again some roads are full of potholes which contribute to road accidents. Sometimes apprentices sit on the driver's seat and they do not follow traffic rules. We hope the authorities concerned will do something to ensure road safety.
