It’s become truly disheartening to read the newspapers these days. All we see or hear about are deaths due to rash and negligent driving. It’s really very heartbreaking to read about so many young lives going back to their maker.
Death by rash and negligent riding
Today’s TOI brought news of yet another death. This time a 25-year old male, a resident of Arpora was killed last night in an accident.
The Anjuna police say that the accident happened early Monday morning at around 3:30 am. A scooter rider, Zakhaman Pun, 24, a resident of Betim, was proceeding towards Arpora.
