Local Residents told Hindu HEThe bus leaned over after sinking into a deep pit filled with a wheel rain water. The children were removed one by one and the traffic police, the audience and the driver of another bus were made to wait for the driver to wait for the Slshy stretch. Then some children were taken to school on the other bus, others were taken to school by residents.
Local inhabitants remembered repeated complaints about pits, missing drains and stretch water raid. According to them, Karnataka Prime Minister Siddaramaiah did not take a permanent solution even after examining the path earlier this year.
“Drains excavated along the road remain incomplete, without a suitable exit towards Rajakaluve (rain water drainage). After each rain, it reappears and the water becomes stagnant at these points. It is impossible to know whether it is a puddle or a deep ditch. Civilian authorities question or suggestions, insist on how to do their work.
Another resident and Namma Balagere member Sudeep added that the repair works on drainage in the region started about 10 days ago. Two days ago, the road was suddenly suddenly made without information. “The bus driver thought that the water had accumulated on the road, but the water was hiding a deep trench. Four -wheeled vehicles can not drive safely here every day.
After the incident, parents wrote to the relevant schools and asked them to take the issue seriously. Parents wanted schools to increase the problem with civilian authorities to ensure that schools are urgent to make schools safe for children.
