Time to end reckless driving!
The premature death of two students of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College at the hands of a reckless driver shows us the horrible condition of our country's transportation system. The loss of two young lives in this way is totally unacceptable. So was the irresponsible response by a minister.
