Even though things are really bad in Nepal but still new constitution drafting has brought some imporvements like they increased the penalty term for carrying unlicenced  arm weapon to minimum 5 years in jail, they also increased the jail term for guilty against human trafficking (prostitution) to minimum 20 years in prison.

There is one important thing that need to be changed so that inncocent victim dont get killed in minor road mishap due to flaw in our law.

According to Transportation Act 1990, if a vehicle hits a person resulting in the death of the latter, then the driver of that vehicle (or its owner) will have to pay a maximum of Rs 300,000 in compensation and 17,000 in funeral expenses. If the victim is injured, then the vehicle owner has to bear all the medical cost of the victim, sometimes, in the case of critical injury, for his whole life.

due to this bull shit Act innocent people get killed by some thug drivers just to avaoid medical cost. those drivers choose to pay the funeral cost of 17000 rather than bear the entire medical cost. There are many case where the injured victim gets killed as drivers back there vehicle and take the innocent lives

Can we atleast try to bring attention to our lawmakers to make some amendment on Transportation act? you can write to Baburam Bhattarai. www.baburambhattarai.com
