Many accidents due to dead animals on highways
Hundreds of animal deaths due to road accidents on state and national highways are troubling motorists. Removal of dead animal carcasses has become a challenge as no one is taking the responsibility of removing the carcasses of animals. Thousands of people travel national highways every day. No one likes to catch a glimpse of a dead animal on the side of the road, but it can be a daily occurrence on the roads.

Seeing a buffalo carcass on the road last week, the driver tried to turn, but lost control of the vehicle and collided with a truck coming in the opposite direction. These dead bodies are dumped on the banks of lakes, ponds, abandoned places and roads in villages, which is again a health hazard. National Highway personnel, police patrol teams and highway users are urging government intervention to make travel on state and national highways safe and hassle-free.
