Mahabubnagar: Volvo bus driver succeeds to avert blaze

Hyderabad: Late on Friday, a Volvo bus was halted by the bus driver timely to prevent a fire accident at Amadabakula in Mahabunagar district. The driver who realised smoke emanating from the engine stopped the bus and extinguished the same in some or other way. The bus was halted at the spot causing inconvenience to the passengers. The passengers were fuming over the management of the Private travellers for not making alternate arrangements.

These days, mishaps have been on a rise. Let it be a mishap on the road or otherwise, the main reason turns to be the reckless attitude of the people. There is a need to exact the situation so as to prevent the accidents. Surely, if timely preventive measures would have been adopted, most of the accidents could have been avoided. The people need to be educated. Better and wide publicity through the mass media channels may be opted for the same. Entertainment-Education concepts are most befitting in this case and will surely prove effective.

The bus staff alerted the passengers immediately and ensured that no loss of life could happen. The passengers went on protest against dropping them mid of the way and not making any alternate arrangements.
