Busses driven rashly and getting people killed are almost becoming daily occurrences. Two more lives have ended.

It is expedient that strict actions are taken the bus drivers and the fines increased to at least four figures.

I JOIN SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE IN CONSOLING THE BEREAVED MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY OF Seenappa Acharya and his wife Vishalakshi,

Jossey that doesn’t worK
Blame is MLA AND MP. We elected them to do our work not pvt bus owners work.
It’s time to call bandh on banning pvt busses and ask for govt busses.
