    These private buses are a danger to passangers as well to others too.They try to overtake others to make money risking everything .even their life.Make all buses govt.so that no more run and risk competition there.Or install a micro chip in every bus that it cant beyond certain milage.In karnataka there is so many vehicles on road ,one should fear to travel even in bus or car.Govt.must look into this and make some changes.

    These accidents are increasing very rapidly. Why don't the authorities take strict action? Monitor speed and reckless driving, impose heavy fine and punishment,

    We have temples in every street. For hospital you have to travel to Manipal and Mangalore. People are interested in Ayodhya Ram Temple, no care about shortage of hospitals and colleges. Buddhivantara Jille du avaste.

    He should never drive again, give him jail duty after recovery. He risked passengers lives because he couldn't over speed.
