Government should spend more money on railways rather than roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.

I disagree with the statement that government should spend more money on railways rather than roads. Every year, thousands of people die in

road

accidents. The number of people dying due to existing railway conditions are few.

Road

accidents are caused due to many reasons like, drivers not following traffic rules, over-speeding, etc. But the main reason, and the most avoidable reason is potholes. Potholes cause 80% of all

road

accidents in India. Most of the roads in India have potholes. Civilians are so frustrated with the number potholes that, a man from Bangalore dressed up in
