Festivity have now a days have lost its real charm, rather it has turned as scopes for the undisciplined youths to continue their ill-behaviour across the state. Festival has remained as one of the terrors as it increases the chances of accidents.

Driving in drunken condition is very common here. Strict action should be taken by police in this regard to stop such incidents. But it has been seen that before the traffic police, people are roaming without helmets, by overloading their vehicles. But police is less bothered about it.

The roadways, however, sometimes are proving as dangerous especially during festival seasons.

Such dangerous driving not only risks the drivers’ lives but the pedestrians also remain in high risk due to this. 

However uncontrolled speed during festivals would be taken very seriously and action must be taken to decrease such unwanted incidents.
