    What is happening with these bus drivers trying to speed and kill. A few days back a driver in Mangalore area killed two innocent people. One was a auto rickshaw driver and a businessman passenger and both had were killed due to this merciless driver. Every time it is the driver of the bus. How can the police take care of this reckless killings. This is going on too far and our city Police Commissionaire has done a very good job with the help of his wonderful staff to help in this situation about these kinds on accidents but I know this is beyond your line of duty but you have full authority during this kind of problems.
