CHENNAI: Makkal Needhi Maiam on Wednesday urged the State government to come out with a strategy to prevent road accident fatalities involving college students.

"College students getting killed in two-wheeler accidents in the state has become a daily occurrence. Half of the accidents could be avoided if the students follow traffic rules, " MNM said.

The party pointed to the two separate accidents involving Theni student Sakthikumar and Salem student Dinesh both of whom were declared brain-dead and their organs were donated. "The compassion and kindness of the parents who volunteered to donate the organs in the midst of the tragedy of losing a child at a young age are commendable. MNM salute the parents who set examples for others," it said.
