Like the previous Independence Days this time again across the country we observed youths doing wheelies on their noisy bikes on Independence Day.
Over seventy percent of population of country consists on youth below the age of thirty years. Despite the fact the number of precious lives lost, many become disabled by dangerous practices of performing stunts on bikes, nothing substantial has been done to abandon this practice.Youngsters are lacking vision by putting their lives in danger just for the sake of thrill reflects how aimless and directionless their lives are. Some sort of dignity and respect should be shown while celebrating Independence Day.
These dangerous stunts not only endanger the lives of the one who perform them but also pose a serious risk to the lives of other road users. Their uncontrolled jubilation causes deadly accidents. By performing these stunts right in the middle of road also causes traffic jam. It has become very irritating for the serious road users to reach their destination due to heavy traffic jams. Due to traffic chaos, no sensible person dares to come on the road and those who have to travel out of necessity, face the agony of traffic jams and commotion by young bike riders. Stern action should be taken against such youths who break the law.
There is need to teach youth that on 14th August we should make pledges to make this country more prosperous and peaceful. Our youths need to channelise their energies in a positive way and they should not waste their lives in useless activities. In order to provide a proper platform to the youth, the government should set up more sports facilities across the country, so that our youth could use their energies in a positive way. The government should arrange sports events and competitions among the youth on Independence Day.
Parents should also keep an eye on their children and their activities.
Our society needs to develop a little more civility to celebrate festive occasions in a decent way.
