Port Blair, Mar 31: Two rallies will be organised tomorrow one each at Hasmatabad and Mayabunder demanding proper action in Sippighat’s deadly accident, which killed first years MGG college students, Ritu Kumari.
According to reports, the first rally will be organised start from Hasmatabad at around 9.30 am and culminate at nearby Police Station while the second rally will start at 3.00 PM from Danapur and the rally will culminate at DC office of Mayabunder.
The sad incident has once again raised the question that how safe are we from the seeding private buses. The number of road accident by the private buses is on the rise and recently we have seen many tragic deaths due to these speeding buses.
The tragic road accident have left a scar on the heart of Islanders, the photographs of the injured and shattered father crying beside the body of his daughter, circulated in Watsapp, ripped thousands of heart. People are now demanding stringent action against the bus driver and strict rules for private buses.
Perhaps this is right time to impose some restrictions on the speed of these private buses or to make separate lanes for two wheelers, to save common man from such fatal road accidents.
