In a region where road accidents have unfortunately become a recurring concern, it is imperative for both authorities and citizens to work collaboratively towards safer road practices. Adhering to speed limits, avoiding reckless driving, and ensuring vehicles are in proper working condition are some steps that can contribute to reducing the risk of accidents and protecting precious lives on the road.
