Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 29 (BPNS)
Kovalam in Kerala is one of the most favoured tourist destinations across the world and a large number of tourists frequent this destination from every corner of the globe. Chartered flights carrying tourists to this tourist destination are a common sight.
However, Sunday morning turned fatal for a 55-year-old woman in Kovalam who was hit by a speeding bike while she was trying to cross the road. The Woman, Sandhya was thrown away from the road and died on the spot.
R. John Kurien, a tourist operator at Kovalam while speaking to BPNS said, “ Kovalam is the biggest tourist destination of Kerala and such careless bike driving leading to the death of unsuspecting pedestrians cannot be tolerated. This will give a negative picture to the outside world and tourists will move away from this destination and can land up in Sri Lanka which has almost similar geographical conditions like in Kovalam.”
The biker is also admitted to the hospital with multiple injuries. The body of Sandhya would be handed over to her relatives after a postmortem.
It is to be noted that a group of youngsters driving bikes are breakneck speeds in these tourist destinations and whatever pressure we put, police do not act.
Already 6 people have lost their lives in recent days through such two-wheeler mishaps.
