    My condolences to the breaved families but an appeal to law enforcing agencies in the state and especially Manali- Rohtang route that driving speed be checked at least after every 5kms. I have at this weekend saw the drivers driving to Rohtang and back. God bless them. The driver from plain is especilly horrible and should be educated at every entry point to this hilly state for safe journey.
