Chikkamagaluru: Beer lorry overturns - Braving police caning, crowd fights to grab bottles


Daijiworld Media Network - Chikkamagaluru (SP)

Chikkamagaluru, Apr 21: In an incident which was reported from near M C Halli in Tarikere taluk of the district on Tuesday April 20, a lorry loaded with beer bottle cases toppled. As a result, beer bottles were found rolling and getting scattered all over the place.

People, unmindful of the lorry and its staff, vied with each other to collect beer bottles. As the news spread, villagers from nearby villages came running. The crowd swelled but the people were not bothered by the risk of coronavirus infection. Tarikere police then reached the spot and tried to control the crowd but by then half of the beer bottles had disappeared.

The police then swung their batons but the crowd continued with their efforts to grab as many beer bottles as possible.

Lorry driver and another staff member were injured in the accident. They are out of danger. A case in this regard was filed in Tarikere police station.

    These " Bacchus Lovers " got the perfect opportunity, to loot the truck, carrying bottles of beer.... The police had no option, but to lathi charge these berserk, wild crowds... Earlier i recall a live poultry truck, which somersaulted on a highway, the brood of chickens, made a dashing escape to freedom, follwed by locals, hell bent in catching their prey for dinner !!!

    Normally people make videos of accidents. but here forget shooting, some of them may even have lost their mobile phones in search of bottles. I guess the police must be the winner with maximum bottles.

    When our people learn to empathise and not to grab but help the breatheren during their crisis, we will really prosper 🙏 There's was a time, people were helpful to each other during crisis, so prosperity came, we don't realise the cause of it.

    Sunil, how pathetic you are. You were waiting for free 15 lakhs in your account without doing any job. Now you are waiting for a truck to topple to get a whisky bottle. In Mangalore a daily wages coolie will get 1000 plus rupees a day. In bangalore it is more. Why don't you shed your laziness and try earning at least for a whisky bottle?

    Yes, this is India! Politicians take advantage of this weakness, distribute Rs 200 to 300 each voter and get elected. Once elected they make money in multiple crores. For the same reason political parties too prefer corrupt and criminal candidates.

    Other day I saw similar scenes in US city where someone was throwing Money and people running and jumping on each other .. The Human Scum is the same everywhere ..Be it India ,US or anyother part of the world ..Our Education is based on competition and not on real values .. We still remain as Lowest in the Life chain ,Though God has made us to be Aware and conscious.
