Tragic end of a promising career condoled

We strongly feel and agree with the aggrieved fellow students of his that movement of heavy and big vehicles must be stopped in and around the campus with immediate effect. But taking out the anger and frustrations on others who had no link with the tragic incident could not be supported either.

It was like crossing the threshold of normal grief and condolences. We understand their anger -- a young man who had a lot of things going for him, whose poor parents had long been waiting for him to pass out of the university and get a decent job met with a tragic end for no fault of his. But his fellow students also must remember that such wild and unruly reaction had never stopped recurrence of such accidents in the past. Yes, the authorities should have acted much earlier to avert such an accident whose possibility looked real after the filling station was built and heavy vehicles were frequenting it. But wasn't it a reaction overkill on the part of some of the students who behaved that way?

The subsequent clashes between the police and the students were avoidable. So many were injured in the process. The sequel to the accident was itself a misfortune. One may have reasons to feel angry over the cause of tragic incidents, but one need not take the anger out on others who have no connection with the incident.
