Liquor Shops on National & State Highways- Potential Death Traps.
Liquor Shops
on National & State Highways- Potential Death Traps.
The quality of
roads & road network drastically improved. People are able to maintain
average speed of 70 to 90 KMs and able to save on time. Recently when I travelled on NH , in a stretch
of 300 Kms, I could see seven Liquor shopping literally abutting the Highway.
Lorry drivers, car travelers on Puskaram eve were stopping on road side and serving
themselves.
It was given to
understand that in Rajasthan & Tamil Nadu, the courts directed the state to
remove or relocate over 1400 shops in each state. Still the Governments are taking the court
direction seriously.
As we hear daily,
there are few severe road accidents causing deaths and severe injuries. How can
Governments promote liquor sales & liquor hoardings on Highways and at the
same time conduct drives to catch drunken
drivers ? Is it not against the principles
of Governance? Is revenues more
important than people's lives?
PLEASE DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE. OUR LIVES ARE
IMPORTANT TO OUR FAMILY.
