As far as the state and accidents are concerned, Saturday turns to be the very crucial day. At many places road accidents have taken place in the state and most of the people lost their lives in these fatal accidents, while many other have sustained stern injuries. These days, mishaps have been on a rise. Let it be a mishap on the road or fire or otherwise, the main reason turns to be the reckless attitude of the people. There is a need to exact the situation so as to prevent the accidents. Surely, if timely preventive measures would have been adopted, most of the accidents could have been avoided.
