BEST crash victims' kin blame BMC, authorities

In addition to grief, they are processing strong anger directed at the BMC. They say poor footpaths, the ever-increasing number of hawkers, parking on both sides of the street, and share rickshaws crowding the road have placed the lives of pedestrians in peril.

"Add to the long list of threats to pedestrians, two-wheelers, auto-rickshaws and buses that keep coming at you when you walk here," said Abdul Salim Shah, father of Afreen Shah, the 19-year-old who died in the crash while returning from her first day at a new job. "If there was a footpath or a skywalk for pedestrians, fewer people would have died. My daughter would still be alive."
