Urging the guilty party to come forward and own up before 6 pm of January 18, he also appealed the Government to put all efforts to book the culprit (s) within 24 hours in case they failed to turn up.

Apart from normal road accident which has become a daily affair along National Highway-2, there has been more than three hit and run cases within this month, he said and condemned the State Government and BIPL for not installing road safety signage along the highway.
