BHOPAL: The death of two minor girls in a road accident in Govindpura on Monday has left their families grieving. The two minor girls riding on a scooter were hit by a speeding loading vehicle. The incident raises a serious question, “Who is responsible for the deaths of these two minor girls?”
The minors were way underage to ride a vehicle. But, take a ride on any city street and one can easily find underage minors and teenagers riding their two wheelers. They often indulge in over-speeding, reckless driving and violating traffic rules. Most of them do not wear helmets. They also indulge in wrong-side driving. These youngsters, especially students above class 8, could be seen commuting to schools by their two-wheelers. They often take their friends with them on their vehicles riding double seat, triple seat and even four students on a scooter or a bike.
