वो छाता लेकर आराम से जा रही है। दूर-दूर तक इस लड़की कि कोई गलती नही दिख रही है। बल्कि वो गाड़ी देखकर 2 सेकंड के लिए रुकी भी थी ऐसा नही है कि वो जल्दीबाजी में थी उसके बावजूद ऐसा हादसा ! इस दर्दनाक हादसे में इसकी जान चली गई। थोड़ी सी लापरवाही मौत का कारण बन गई। #RoorkeeNews pic.twitter.com/AO7hCa6sWo
