Chittoor: Lorry hits school bus; 15 hurt

On Wednesday morning, near Tapanapalli cross road on the way to Tirupathi in Chittoor district, a lorry hit a school bus. In this incident, 15 school students hurt. The victims have been rushed to a nearby hospital for the treatment. More details in the matter are awaited.

It is worth recollecting that exactly a month before the Lotus school bus in Hyderabad met with an accident. Nowadays, many accidents involving the school buses have been taking place in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states. Despite the fact that the concerned authorities are very serious about such incidents, there is no control over the situation for sundry reasons. There is a need to assess the situation and revise the guidelines.
