Safety violations: 250 cases booked against bus operators in two days
The HinduThe two Volvo bus-related accidents in the recent past seem to have spurred the Transport Department officials to crack the whip on operators not following safety guidelines. So since Thursday as many as 250 cases have been booked against mostly private operators for their failure to adhere to the passenger safety guidelines that include providing emergency exits. The crackdown against bus operators, which began on Thursday in the wake of the fire accident involving the bus belonging to National Travels in Haveri killing seven persons and injuring more than 25 persons, will continue, said Joint Commissioner of Transport R.V. But this exit in private buses like Volvo is at least 9 ft above the ground from outside the bus making it impossible for passengers to jump out,” said an RTO officer.
