The question is what's the next move? What proactive measures are in place to prevent another tragedy, which could be worse than the last one? Or if these measures are already in place in the relevant legislation, what is being done to make sure they are effective and adhered to? Did all the concerned stakeholders meet to strategise or it has been taken just as one of the common misfortunes that we are fated to in our civilised era? To me this accident should have made a clarion call to all stakeholders not to sleep on their laurels and to promptly address the issue, as a national crisis.
When something poses a menace to our human survival, there is an urgent need to mobilise all our efforts individually and collectively to stem its tide before we are all swept away in the deluge. A few individuals cannot take the sacrosanctity of human life at ransom with gory brutality. These individuals may by commission or omission directly or indirectly contribute to road carnage. We don't have a large fleet and bad road conditions as some countries in the region but the number of road accidents we encounter is way ahead of some of these countries.
