    It is very sad and sorry to know that
    now a days more and more accidents are occurring very frequently by buses in general and by KSRTC buses in particular.This is due to total disrespect to traffic rules by the drivers and mismanagement/malpractices by the management of the bus owners/KSRTC at the cost of the commuters.Who are the losers poor commuters and their family.Had there be any strict rules and laws these type of accidents would not have happened.No matter under whatever may be the conditions company/owners of the bus are greedy for the money only.they don't bother about the precious lives of the passengers.I earnestly request the concerned departments,authorities to take appropriate steps/measure at least to avoid future fatalities/accidents.Pray to Almighty for the speed recovery of injured passengers.
