The abysmal and dilapidated condition of National Highways presents a grim picture, causing frequent Mishaps resulting loss of precious lives including Man, Women and children. The Situation calls for immediate dualization of Highways and deployment of National Highways and Motorways police to control over speeding, rash driving especially diverting heavy traffic to alternate locations so that smaller vehicles may not face the ill-fated accidents.
\nThere are many heavy traffic Vehicles such as the small and big trucks, Trawlers Containers and Oil tankers. The Biggest Company that deals with huge logistic operations is National Logic Cell popularly known as NLC. The condition of highways is very poor as these are bumpy, broken and having cracks at most of the parts. Even the sides are too narrow to that extent that two large vehicles cannot cross at the same time.
\nPeople using public Transport always board the vehicles such as vans, bluelines, rickshaws by holding their breath when these cross any huge vehicle such as fast-moving Blue Line, A trawler, or Oil Tanker. Sometimes there is a narrow escape from possible accidents.
\nThe NHA Police have never been seen guiding the drivers regarding safety instructions even they have never conducted any instructions sessions with drivers to help minimize dangers but they are very quick to challan the vehicles if caught violating the speed limits.
\nThe drivers are issued licenses without conducting any driving skills test so that only qualified and skilled persons may be issued LTV and HTV licenses. The minors belonging to elite class drive cars, jeeps, Parados, ride bikes and their frequent overspeeding and rash driving causes several terrible accidents in which their chances to recovery are limited since these minors ignore the safety instructions and don\u2019t bind their seat belts even ignore the traffic rules.
\nThe other bad practices committed by these burger style elites include one wheeling that is very dangerous and several youths have lost their lives during one wheeling as the bikes go out of their control while one wheeling thus these riders are pushed by oils tankers, trawlers or Fast moving Blue lines to the deathbed.
\n Poor parents lose their children owing to giving them too much freedom and resources and remain unaware of their activities since their unawareness and carelessness regarding their whereabouts leads to losing their offspring in road accidents. On single highways like N55 from Shikarpur to Rajanpur, it is estimated that every month an average 15 to 20 people lose their lives due to the mistake of the public transport drivers or Oil tankers drivers or the blue lines drivers. The overtaking has more chances for the accident as N55 is the single road. Thus, the overtaking had swallowed over 200 lives last year and so far, N55 has gobbled 150 lives this year that included Man, women, minor children and the cattle. Pakistan is among few countries where the number of road accidents is very high warranting the Government to pay heed towards the problem and make the highways safer for the public so that the number of deaths may be minimized through the adoption of road safety measures and educating people regarding the traffic rules especially to the drivers of the public Transport, Goods transport vehicles such as Trucks smaller and heavier and Oil Tankering Vehicles. The apprising of Traffic rules and road safety measure will play a vital role in helping the Government to bring the figures of frequent road accidents down.
\nIn this connections, the NHA& Motorway police, Traffic Police and responsible citizens may play their important part to help create awareness regarding the perils of over speeding and rash driving on highways and the possible repercussions.
\nAt the same time, we need to frame laws that may prevent the fatal accidents where loss of lives mounts to thousands and sometimes members of the whole family lose their lives in these terrible accidents.
\nI still remember that how a doctor lost his life along with his whole family while returning from Karachi by his car. It is high time that Government should wake up from a deep slumber and legislate the traffic rules and make the Highways safer for the people to travel safely and reach their destination safe and sound.
\nFurthermore, There is strong need to establish rescue centres at every 20 to 30 Kilometers or at Cities on the highways so that Seriously and partially injured people may be shifted to Nearby hospitals on time and the life of maximum people may be saved.
\nIt is also strong demand from the public that all the single track or single carriageways along with bloody and killer N55 highway must be dualized or doubled so that there should be the smooth flow of traffic on its every track resulting fewer chances of any accidents in case of overtaking the vehicles.
\nPakistan must follow the international road safety procedures as practices worldwide to minimize the traffic accidents and saving hundreds of lives falling prey to untimely or sudden deaths due to ill-fated accidents that bring misery in the lives of the family that loses their near and dear ones all of sudden.
\nThere should be strict laws which may prevent the minors from driving vehicles since the minors lose control of vehicles very soon while driving and face unwarranted mishaps that swallow their precious lives .
\nFinally, NHA& Motorway police must increase its patrolling along the road and monitor the speeding limits on the highways and motorways throughout Pakistan so that risks for unfortunate accidents may be minimized and the citizens may be provided awareness regarding the traffic rules in schools, colleges and at Public Transport Stops through pamphlets, banners, Videos and wallpapers and awareness Sessions .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
