As 2023 general elections are coming nearer, we are likely to witness more violent and chaotic activities in the country.

Many politicians take politics as a do or die affair and they can do anything to clinch power. Such politicians move with thugs to protect them while miscreants with devil minds attach themselves with campaigners to steal and cause mayhem. People that are not politicians should stay clear of campaign spots.

Many people have been killed or wounded during  campaign rallies.

Parents should warn their children to stay away from such gatherings for their safety.  

Motorists and pedestrians that are not part of the activities should also avoid those scenes for their own safety.

Reckless celebrations and driving should also not be allowed again. We have seen how precious and vibrant youths die during reckless driving at susch events.
