Need for road safety measures

Sir,
The recent heartbreaking incident involving two brothers in Bhaderwah highlights the urgent need for enhanced road safety measures in our region. The loss of one life and the critical injury of another due to a vehicle plunging into a gorge is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by commuters on our roads.
It’s imperative that the Government takes proactive steps to prevent such tragedies in the future. Measures such as improving road infrastructure, implementing stricter traffic regulations, and conducting regular maintenance checks on accident-prone routes are essential.
Additionally, raising awareness about safe driving practices and providing education on emergency response procedures can help mitigate risks on our roads.
We urge the authorities to prioritize road safety initiatives and allocate resources towards creating safer transportation networks for all citizens.
