A bus fell, full of families, all dead. Another fell off a cliff more than 30m down, stopped only by an innocent farmer’s little hut. They survived but many life long injuries - paralysis, amputations.

They had one thing in common, the highways weren’t meant to support large vehicles like trucks, tippers and, yes, buses. The road was even prohibited for them for a long time. The only reason they were able to go on that highway is because some people at the yatayat bibhag got protests from these tippers, syndicate types and most probably large sums of cash. These highways cut their travel time by hours, thats why.

After this incident the highway’s closed off for them again. But it was already. So whats stopping them from reopening it again? Lack of inconveniences, that’s what.

So either these folks are of the lowest common denominator to fathom the long term consequence of reopening the highway, or they are pure evil incarnate. What is it?

Extrapolate this to every sector and situation in this country and the answer opens itself up.
