    The accidents on road looks to have become a weekly feature in himachal pradesh. Except, a sympethetic statements nothing concrete is coming to observe. State will soon become a hot favourite spot for rash/negligent driving.It seems that there is no control on loading/ driving etc. in this hilly state.The roads are becoming worse nd worse not only to drive but even to look upon.God bless.
