The two accidents that happened in Doti and Khotang within last week sent shivers down all our spines. In fact, there is news about one or more of such road accidents in Nepal almost every day, while many small accidents are not covered at all. These road accidents are man-made disasters, certainly different from the natural disasters like last year’s great earthquake. The earthquake killed almost 9,000 people and damaged a great deal of property. It drew a lot of national and international attention.
