    all said and done no body is bothered about the pathetic condition of the road. If i am not wrong couple of accidents have happened and couple of peple have died due to the negligence RNS constructions and the so called engineers of the state high way department. Just se the construction activity no planning at all just widening and putting mud will not serve the purpose. curves have increased instead of reducing , edges of culverts are constructed on the road itself this is modern engineering. where is the centr mark where is the rad edge mark why there are so many curves, up and downs where. no crash barriers no sighnage boards. total unplanned construction and waste of peoples many. How long you require to complete a raod of 30 kms? No body bothered. Its not only the bus drivers and conductors its our public transport system is such which requires major surgery. As far as i know the area where accident has happened is a blind spot where the turning could have been avoided so are the two valuable lives. will RNS and the engineers of the department and the road designer bring the lives back?

    Vishal & Durgambha these are most dangerous buses in highways. Even the owners of this bus are not bothered.
    They didn't care even if their family members die in their own bus. Punish Or cancel the permits.
    It will not open happen because our Department officers get Hafts.
    Mr, Soreke visited the injured ,what else he can do? cane take strict action on the bus operators Nooo,Then why is he visiting the injured too ...take action on the bus operators,make them pay all th expenses heavy fines ....it will not happen any Govt comes Or goes all arer corrupted...

    I totally agree with your observation.
    these bus owners donot care for any thing but money. RTO should initiate proper enquiry and if proved should suspend their permit.

    We the public only should cry for whatever bad things happens.But bus operators i mean especially drivers and conductors attitudes and approaches we cannot change in spite of our hue and cry and it will remain same and will continue as it is as long as strict action is not taken by the concerned department i.e.RTO.Drivers don't bother about how many passengers die and how many people are injured.Their attitude is 'BALE,BALE,KULLE,DHUMBHU POLE,PIRA BALLE,NADUKU POLE,BARIK POLE RIGHT POYEE".OMG when these people will realize and understand the apathy of general public and respect the traffic rules.Why over speeding,irresponsible driving,over-taking unless it is required at some point etc are required.First of my request is to all the drivers/conductors to respect traffic rules and have a concern about the passengers and their lives.Don't think that you are something special when you are on the wheel.All the passenger's life is with driver's hand.Be cautious,sincere and use your brain.

    Collisions - Road accidents - murders and rapes are regular occurrences these days. These can be controlled in different ways.

    With regard to road accidents, it should be made mandatory for buss drivers and rickshaw drivers to go through regular lessons in respect of safety measures. With regard to rapes, people should be educated at grass root levels on the relative dangers and this can be achieved by inculcating values in children in schools and colleges.
