ROAD ACCIDENTS




One may like it or not i do not know but as a doctor working in the capital city of Odisha(Bhubaneswar)is of the opinion is that -most of the hospitals here are thriving due to automobiles so also the rich doctors. The high way number 5 passes through the busy city (lack of foresight of ex CM) which kills and injured/morbidity) more number of people than heart attack and cancer patients put together.There is a ten fold rise of 4 wheelers and 20 fold rise of two wheelers on road, thanks to the lenient bank loan policies.Most of the victims are young people.We(Business house/Politicians) are happy that the automobile industry is booming so also the death rate .The doctors and hospitals are having their beds/purse full due to the two and ten wheelers on road.For your information now a days you seldom find a truck with six wheels most of them have ten or sixteen wheels at the least.
Please do not worry about HIV(AIDS), or Hepatitis B, or super bug its the RTA (road traffic accident)which will kill 10% of the young people in next ten years unless we take some drastic steps to reduce or stop it.
