Sir: Road accidents are a growing challenge for the residents of Turbat. Several people get injured or killed as a result of road accidents in the Turbat region. The greatest tragedy is when it is children who are killed or injured or when breadwinners are maimed and become dependent on those who they were providers for. The main cause of road accidents is the structure of roads and especially the turns. Local streets are extremely narrow and poorly made as a result of which accidents occur. Unqualified and underage drivers without licenses also contribute to this menace. The general population is also to blame. In a city of 800,000 it seems like nobody is following the traffic rules. It is my request to the government and policy makers that they do something about this situation to prevent loss of lives and property. JAGAN KHAN Turbat Published in Daily Times, December 13th 2017.
