Accidents on Hyderabad Karachi Highway

We are living where we are at sword’s edge. And the minimal error in judgment on part of a citizen may have lethal consequences.

Several things might be happen, for instance you are in your civic travelling to Karachi from Hyderabad through Karachi Hyderabad motorway M9and you’ve got a fatal accident and you lost your life.

Indeed that’s a common thing at M9 motorway. 72 people died in different incidents in this part of highway at the start of 2017 which is reported by Sindh highway. If we go in past couple of weeks one of the student of university who died by falling from university point.

An estimate 1.2 million people are killed in road crashes each year, and as many as 50 million are injured, occupying 30 to 40 percent of orthopedic beds in developing countries hospitals worldwide and they are taking efforts of reducing these types of severe incidents, These types of incidents also does here but fortunately or unfortunately nobody care what happen here or who dies here. Officials always release the statistical reports but they doesn’t take a single step to reduce these types of incidents.

The situation of M9 is worst in all perspective i.e. condition,

The 136 kilometer-long road, which is spread across three districts of Malir, Thatta and Jamshoro, includes the additional of two lanes to the superhighway’s existing four lanes.

The sides of this motorway is not fenced with anything, this is also a major cause. Lamentably, citizens also violate the rules and regulations which is also a major cause.

Our response is not to address the bureaucracy, corruption and the sheer despotism but have to simply adopt to these chronic maladies.

If present trends continue, road traffic injuries are predicted to be the third leading contributor to the global burden of disease and injury by 2020. Developing countries bear a large share of burdens, accounting for 85 percent of annual deaths and 90 percent of the disability-adjusted life years because of road traffic or highway traffic injury.

Construction process of Hyderabad motorway is very low, people faces many hurdles. In motorway motor cycles are not allowed but bikes are running on it. There are no underpasses for the locals and no fences are installed on it because of this animals are on the highway that is also a cause of the bad event.

There is not speed as well as age limit or any other rules and regulation on it and if there is, then no one is here to deploy and to follow.

To decrease the rate of incidents we need the collective efforts of public and officials.
