The two were going down from Nantoor Circle towards Shivabagh Circle in violation of the temporary no entry' arrangement made by the traffic police to facilitate concreting of the road.
The road is open for vehicles from Shivabagh to Nantoor Junction while vehicles on the reverse direction have to take a detour either via Pumpwell Circle or KPT Cricle.

All that is on earth will perish, but face of your Lord will abide (forever) full of majesty, bounty and honor - Holy Qur'an 55:26-27
Nobody like rulers, bureaucrat or any citizen is bothered or cares such accident specially in Mangalore.
Human lives have no value specially for 2wheelers.
We are talking many projects in our area.
This is daily disaster. If we wish we can prevent such accidents with some good planning.
Such accidents are not UNPREVENTABLE.
If we want to allow our people to use 2wheelers, first we should plant to prevent and how to escape from these accidents.
Otherwise we all should by law or by force avoid using such vehicles.
At least our leaders in the city like DC, SP, RTO, MP, MLAs, Ministers, all those who use 2wheeler, please wake up and do the doable thing to save our people's lives.
