Haryana: Blatant lapses led to school bus crash in Mahendergarh
A drunk driver at the wheel and complete disregard for the roadworthiness of the vehicle were just the ingredients that made Thursday’s crash of a private school bus in Haryana’s Mahendergarh district a tragedy waiting to happen. Here are the five reasons which led to the unfortunate incident: Mahendragarh, April 11: Six schoolchildren were killed and several others injured after the bus they were travelling in overturned near Unhani village in Kanina sub-division here at Mahendragarh district on April 11 Drunk driver, high speed The first information report registered at Kanina city police station brings out that the bus driver, identified as Dharmender, an accused in the FIR, was in an inebriated state and did not heed the repeated requests of the school children not to drive the bus too fast. Transport officials said the school bus bearing registration number HR 66-A 7514 was also challaned by the district transport officer on March 13, 2023 for plying without a fitness certificate, without payment of tax and without affixing a high-security registration plate. A senior official in Chandigarh said local administration goes soft as most of the private school buses are used by the ruling dispensation for carrying crowds to political events, public meetings, etc.
