People have no business being on roads. Unless proper pavements and subways are provided, there will always be more deaths. Where does one walk if there's no sidewalk?
Update: Never accuse the Times of India of sentimentality. Or sense. Here's their Times City Quiz question, only three columns away from the report of the accident:
Where did Tuesday's accident occur?
A: Gorai
B: Sanpada
C: Palton Road

Perhaps they'll hire an editor someday. Perhaps we'll have pavements someday.

I don't know about Palton Road, but it is also terribly common (besides seeing roads without pavements) to see pavements without pedestrians.
People walk on the side of the sidewalk, pavement are paved with hawkers, the footpath sees few feet. Either way, there is no implementation.
Rahul, I caught that quiz too. Forget pavements and such like, the hell with women being run over, give me my Provogue voucher dammit!
