Hi,

Well there no saving from this disgrace if the Govt continues to act the way they've so far,Am sure even in the next year we may have to face the same problems !

But however whats surprising is the Average speed ,at 772 its quite higher then I thought it would be !!

Anyways Hope atleast someone wakes up and does something bout this !!

Regards.
